"But we Christians were the same way once."

You know, I go over to the DU and read what those idiots have to say about things. Your post fits beautifully with what they say. But even over at the DU, a few of them had the sense to argue that that was in the past. To equate muslims of today with Christians of 600 years ago yeilds what positive result?
We once lived in caves, ate raw meat, didn't sanitize properly... etc. So, all those things we once did, we should approve because our ancestors once did that?!
I don't know a single Christian who, in my entire lifetime, was told to marry exclusively in their faith. I don't know of a single Christian who, in my lifetime, that was told that if he or she left the faith, they'd be apostate and be killed. I don't know a single Christian woman who was killed as an honor killing for seeing a non-Christian.

It's not like we can ignore them and let them live their lifestyle how they see fit. They want to change our lifestyle. They want sharia law, they want our country, they want to kill or convert us. Stop making excuses for these animals. Call them on their behavior. If they can't exist in the 21st century, let's help them to cease to exist.

The article above is not about bloodthirsty terrorists trying to kill people. It is a about Muslim parents trying to figure out how to help their kids find a Msulim spouse. I am a Christian and I try not start spewing venom every time I see the word Muslim.

And the example I sited about Christians was not 600 years ago. I remember well when Catholics were discouraged from "mixed marriages" with Protestants, it was in my lifetime. I have been to the Smithsonian and seen posters from the late 1800's where there was panic about Catholics immigrating to America and establishing "pope worship." But that did not happen did it? We don't know what will happen with the Muslims but it behooves us all to cool off every now and then. We should try to detach ourselves from our fears and look at situations that turned out better than we expected them to. We need to be vigilant but we also need to avoid letting our fears get the best of us.

I do. Irish Catholicism runs pretty strong in these parts (greater Boston). And my grandmother's very disappointed my son's going to be baptized a Protestant and not a Catholic.
