Could we have a little less of the simple-minded religious bigotry, please?
Some common sense! And lest those without it forget, Christianity did some pretty awful things in the name of religion too.

Fred Phelps is what most of us would term an as____e, but I don't remember him crashing planes into skyscrapers, beheading people on TV, and so much else.
To compare to 'exploits' of Phelps to the ongoing murder and genocidal policies of a Satanic religion is going well over the top.
Before that, it was 'Christian fundamentalists" are a dangerous group, bombing abortion clinics (rare, indeed).
Then 9-11 happens, and liberals changed the term from "Christians fundamentalists" to "religious fundamentalists" (remember?)..........a shallow, cheesy attempt to lend credence to its continuing attacks against Christians, right?
It all became the same, a few abortion clinic bombers and Phelps types became the true face of Christian fundamentalism. When the true face is of a life loving believer talking to a young girl not to make the biggest mistake of her life.
Islamic 'fundamentalists" murder innocents by the thousands, behead people by the dozens on TV, and say things like, "we're sorry these things happen to Americans, but............"
I would ask for less liberal-minded knee jerk, protect the ideology at all cost idiocy over your aspersions of 'religious bigotry'.
