I agree. I am something of a moderate, in that in the end, no matter what people here feel, we are going to NEED the moderate Islamic element to help defeat the extremists. You simply can't exterminate 1.2 billion people. My original contention with you, is equating the sins of Christans 500 years ago, with what moder Islamists are doing today. That part is nonsense.
I agree and I didn't want it to sound like this. It was meant to be a response to the "Look at these muslims, ruthless murderers from the start, time we righteous christians finally wiped them out" kind of posts, but I suppose it got out of hand along the way.
