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!
