religiously sanctioned mass murder of innocents through suicide.

Pretty good article, but I have to remind that my religion, Christianity, had it's own religious sponsored murder spree during the Crusades...

Yeah, you can argue that pretty easily if you conveniently forget that the Crusades were a response to the spread of militant Islam.

The Crusades were a form of pest control. They needed killing then....and they need killing now.

You don't even need to bring religion into this issue if you prefer not to.

Just because a Christian sins, does not mean that sin is sanctioned by scripture.

Please golfboy, show a verse in the New Testament that justifies/encourages killing in the name of Jesus Christ.

The Crusades were precipitated by agressive muhammadans attacking Christians and Jews. No apology is owed the muslims of today, just as none was owed their predecessors.

The best thing we can do now is everything possible to insure they have no successors.
