Being an authentic Muslim is to tolerate unless attacked.. Either I am an infidel or the terrorists are. I won't be painted with the same brushstroke.
In the past, many people committed horrific acts posing as Christians. I don't consider these as such, I keep them seperate than you for example, who seems not to feel that any non-Christian should be persecuted and burned at the stake.

Good article. Thanks for the ping. Most, if not all religions go through theologically-inspired rough spots in time by propelled by murderers. I think the current phase of Islamic fundamentalism (and fundamentalism need not be murderous) where it seems so prominent, is in reality more ethnic based - Arab and Pakistani.
