Some Christians used the bible to justify slavery and to deny civil rights to freed slaves and their descendants. The recent and current mayhem perpetrated radical Muslims can be attributed, in part, to societies and cultures that justify, ignore or condone radicalization.

"To compare Christians to terrorists displays a lack of understanding of the problem and a complete bias against Christians."

Your rhetorical acrobatics are astounding. I never compared all Christians to terrorists. I am an equal opportunist, howerver, in condemning radicals of all stripes.

Yes they used the bible to justify their actions. Like many others they twisted religion to support their personal objectives.

“The recent and current mayhem perpetrated radical Muslims can be attributed, in part, to societies and cultures that justify, ignore or condone radicalization.”

The “current” mayhem as you call it has been happening for about a thousand years. Mayhem seems more like something you would see at a birthday party for little kids. Not a word I’d use to describe the murder of millions.

“Your rhetorical acrobatics are astounding. I never compared all Christians to terrorists. I am an equal opportunist, howerver, in condemning radicals of all stripes.”

You stated that Christians and Muslims used the same methods.
