Christian radicals hate secularists just as much as Muslim radicals. Muslim radicals merely take it just a couple of steps further.

To go from indignation to decapitation would require more than a couple steps.

To equate the cultural battle between conservative Christians and secular humanists with the cultural battle between radical Islam and Western Civilization is to engage in moral relativism.

The former is a battle for the hearts and minds of a free people, and is being waged in the marketplace of ideas. The latter is a battle for our survival as a free people, and is being waged in a pool of blood.

That depends (there goes my relativity again).

I willingly denounce that comment due to its unfair generalization of politically oriented/active Christians.

However, to judge a religion with as much of a following as Islam based on fanatical, violent lunatics isn't fair either.

Should we presume ALL catholic priests are pedophiles?

Should we presume ALL small independent protestant sects to be doomsday cults along the lines of the Branch Dividians?

How'd you like it if all the Muslims based their opinions of Christians based on experiences with Jehovah's Witnesses?
