but I sure the heck do not want to hear a call to a Muslim Prayer which is founded on violence over our american air-waves.

WHy not? They broadcast christian servicews and other stuff over some airwaves - and many so-called christians have also engaged in violence, such as Abortion Clinic bombings, murders etc...

I don't believe those people represent all christians in this country, and I don't believe that islamic fundamentalist terrorists represent all Muslims in this country - but according to your view, if a number of religious adherents resort to violence, then it invalidates the whole of the religion. That means, according to you, Christianity is ALSO invalid, and should be stopped. Right?

Anybody who uses a faith of PEACE which Christianity is does not believe in violence of anykind, Just because wolves is sheep's clothing are hiding behind the blanket of Christianity to claim there evil deeds does not mean they are doing it for Christian purposes.

ISLAM does teach violence it is part of there teachings.

I see a big difference between how the "mainstream" muslims treat the muslim "radicals" and Christians or Jews treat their "radicals".

When a "christian" bombs an abortion clinic or snipes a man who has killed who knows how many babies, most christians agree that that is not right, not the right approach, and denounce the action. It is obvious that no matter how much christians dislike the abortion industry, and how much they peacefully protest against it, terrorist attacks are not an accepted method of change to the christian church or the people in it. There are a few unfortunate exceptions, but the majority speaks rather clearly.

Conversely when a score of muslims hijack planes and kill thousands of men women and children, steal/destroy literally billions of dollars in property and productivity from individuals, businesses and the governments, destroy multiple city blocks and almost flood the entire transit system, not only are there no muslims heard condemning the action, there is both jubilation and celebration in the street and praises in the mosques.

So please understand that the tolerance level for the different philosophies are radically different at this point in history... for good reason.
