Now, I like to think of myself as a reasonable, America-loving, God-fearing person, but there are many half-truths floating about as a few posters try to make themselves feel better.
Truth: neither Christianity nor Islam contain edicts that regularly compel their followers to threaten the lives of anybody. To say this of Islam in general is dishonest and makes you look rather silly.
Truth: Both Christianity and Islam have terrorist organizations and individuals who engage in terrorist activities in the name of their respective deity or particular denomination or ideology. This does not, however, imply that either religion is bad, only that there are murderers and crazies associated with both. If you kill innocent people intentionally, you are a murderer and possibly crazy, but that does not allow a person to logically conclude that either Christians or Muslims in general condone such behavior.
As to many of the other posts, God's calling aside, it really is poor parenting to drag your children to obviously dangerous countries. This doesn't excuse the murder, obviously, but it would be challenging for the parents to rationalize what has happened since they directly put their children in a situation where such activity was possible.
Please give some examples of Christians doing this.

Moral equivilancy doesn't work on this forum, as a geneal rule.
Yes, What terrorist acts have Christian extremists committed lately?
I'm certainly not saying that there are not "wacko's" on both sides, but committing terrorist acts is another story... You go much too far and now sound like Rosie....
You have an April 06 sing up date and yet have only made 5 posts all on this thread. How interesting.
Your attempts to equate muslim intimidation and terror with the Christian equivalent is laughable. If for no other reason than by sheer numbers of occurrances especially in modern times.
I strongly suspect you are muslim. To each his own, but your comparison attempt doesn't hold water.
