I am in no way condoning the actions of these sick people, however, to condemn an entire religion on the basis of a zealot sect is inherently wrong. Doesn't Christianity teach us to turn the other cheek? Forgive others? I've gone to parochial school my entire life and, if I remember correctly, Jesus was a pretty peaceful kind of guy, not really down with the whole lets HATE HATE HATE everyone thing. I cannot see the merit in posting such arrogant statements on the Internet for all to see. Are you so closed minded you fail to see the pros and cons of all religions? Are there not certain groups of Christians who have taken responsibility for the bombing of abortion clinics? Where is their condemnation?
Are those involved in jihad monsters? To us, yes. But hate, misunderstanding, fear, and prejudice cannot eradicate hate, misunderstanding, fear, and prejudice. Should we be angry, hurt, and incited to a point of disgust and fury? Yes....but remember, not all Muslims are evil just as all Christians are not moral. I should know....my father is Muslim and my mother was a Roman Catholic...take it from someone with experience on both sides of the fence....the militants simply interpret their relgious writings in a literal, rather than symbolic, way....and, like the Catholic Church who has just published a 31 page document proposing how WOMEN should behave in the wake of an emormous sexual scandal involving priests....haven't quite caught up with the changing times we live in. My dad is not a monster--so be specific. Islam is not the enemy. Closed mindedness and uncontrolled rage are......
Why be as bad ourselves as we claim them to be? And why make religious assesments of Islam when I can be almost sure you can neither speak arabic nor read it, much less peruse through the Koran. Besides, looks like you need to catch up on your Bible reading anyhow..
