Why don't moderate Christians tame the extremist Christians... what you are asking is impossible. Many of the extremist Muslims have a disdain for moderate Muslims as much as they do anyone else. There's nothing you can do about extremism. As long as there is religion, there will be extremists.

I'm sorry but as long as you have religion you will have WAR.
Christians, Jewish, Islam have all raged war at some time or another. They claim they want Peace...so where is it? Not at the end of a gun barrel. I think all religions should stand back and take a look at their past and wonder what their god is thinking now.
If was going to be religeous I'd be a Bhuddist at least they strive to attain peace.
I used to be a christian but I have lost too many close members of my family...and when I asked God to help them I was Ignored!

How can decent peace-loving people seek out violent extremists and "tame" them (by which I assume you mean beat them to death)? Lots of good innocent people would be hurt doing this and there is no guarentee that there will not be a hydra effect which would exponentially worsen the situation.
Best leave it to the experts in the police and the intelligence agency to route out the exteremists while the rest of us work together to improve this world so everyone will be happy with it and have no desire to do violent and extreme deeds.

You can't ask the mainstream members of ANY religion to "take care of" (or tame, as you seem to prefer to say) the extremists in their group.
Besides, what exactly would you want them to do? Kick them out of Islam? The extremists probably believe that THEY are the purity of Islam and not the moderates.

All this warring isn't anything to do with religion. It's to with groups jockeying for power by hijacking a popular vehicle, which happens to be religion. Using such tactics can then create the divisions desired between the "ordinary" folk of all sides. It's simple WAR MONGERING by MEN who want power and control.

I may be wrong, but isn`t Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Palestine a backlash against Muslim extremism ?
Isn`t there a lot of hate in the World ?
Gosh, why cant we just sit down and have a little chat about it over a nice cup of tea...oh...sorry, how rude of me, cake anyone ?

I feel strongly you have to open your eyes to the evidence that they have declared war on us. During WWI all germans and austrians in the UK were put into camps for their own protection, as well as ours. For those born in britain, it has no relevance anymore. If this provokes a 'them and us' situation. Then so be it, in war, that is life and we have to fight fire with fire. Up to now we have fought fire with water unsuccessfully.

As opposed to the backlash Christians tried during the Crusades?

I have faith: "that anyone who does an atom's weight of good will see it. And anyone who does an atoms weight of bad will see it."
These nutters who give Muslims a bad name will get their "*** uppence".
It's weird how everyone remembers "horror stories" and forgets the good people do!
