Not upset: I object. You continue to equate Christianity as on an equal ground with Islam. And you say, “It will be too late,” as though Jesus wields justice the way “allah” is said to do. Jesus wields grace and mercy, while teaching us to call a viper a viper, and a liar a liar.
Another honor killing in the news this week, BTW. And in the US. Not Christian, Muslim.

No, I equate the actions of some Christians with the actions of some Muslims. You have tried to distance yourself from bad people doing bad things in the name of Christianity so you should understand this.

It appears some want to eliminate Islam, as if that were possible. Only Islam can fix Islam and we cannot possibly win a war with them. The best we can hope for is to support and encourage the moderates/modern thinkers to oppose and eliminate the extremists.

Burning their most sacred book (no matter what you think of it) will not serve that end and only give the extremists more influence and power.

People who advocate such actions are part of the problem.
