If, God forbid, you are your loved ones are blown to pieces by Islamic nutjobs, just be thankful that you will be spared the ongoing horror of insensitive name-calling by Christian zealots.

"The fact is that millions of quite rational men and women, belonging to established religious movements around the globe, look forward to history's conclusion, to be followed by the establishment of a perfected era,"

Yes--and count me along with the "crackpots" who believe that Christ will return and usher in a new heaven, and a new earth.

Standard tricks in leftist moral-equivalence handbook:

• set up false dichotomy between a mass murderer (Osama) and a guy who says politically incorrect stuff (Graham, Falwell)
• say early on that you're not trying to diminish outrage about mass murdering or belittle the danger, then use the word "but" and proceed to do just that
• try to impress your readers by using the word "Manichean" in there somewhere (journalists must've received a memo about this overused word back on September 12)
• toss in faux-authoritative quotes from a few no-names who wrote books that you happened to read, as if anyone cares what "Andrew Delbanco" or "Gershom Gorenberg" (whoever the heck they are) have to say about anything
• offer no solution to the problem you pretend to be pointing out, only vagueness ("unless we are not careful"... what does that mean? How should we be "careful"?) Remember, the goal is to confuse, muddy the waters, and deflect fears from Islamic maniacs onto marginal TV evangelist personalities (and Christians in general).

All are present and accounted for here.

I don't consider Mr's Falwell and Robertson's eschatology and retoric the finest in the world, but to suggest that they are to blame for the evil deeds of Islam is simply ridiculous.

The author fails to consider the men and women who are really "fanning the flames" for Christ: those who believe on Him and come out of Islam, even though they face persecution and death, those who stoke the flames with their bodies and their blood. For these "zealots" of Christ pay with their lives often- though they have little of the trappings of "popular" American Christianity, the retoric of Mr Falwell. For simply bearing the name of Christ they are hated- not for any words, even, against the Prophet, or violence- no, simply for believing in Christ! Are these men and women dangerous fanatics? Perhaps! For with Christ comes liberty, and peace. These "zealots" do not use bombs, or rifles, or weapons of fear- but, to those who hate them, they are far more dangerous than all the bombs and bullets in the world. The love of Christ- for those even who hate Him and His followers!- trumps the violent, and is dangerous indeed to the darkness. If theirs is fanaticism, I should hope I would be called a fanatic for Christ also!

[Gal.5:1]

Ah, yes, blame the Christians again for telling the truth. Do we stand idly by and allow the Islamic Zealots blow us to pieces without daring to give an opinion? Hardly. I give the above mentioned Christians credit for not being afraid to speak out. The peace weenies and those who want us to suffer in silence and never speak up can go to hell.

So, recognizing the difference between right and wrong is the result of evil Christian teachings? Is that what we're supposed to get from this article? I don't this moron knows what a fundamentalist Christian is.
