have committed acts of terror, such as people who bomb abortion clinics and government buildings here in the USA? Like that nutjob Timothy McVeigh who bombed the Federal Building in Oklahoma City? Come on, Christians are the ones bombing abortion clinics, and McVeigh was also a Christian as well as a member of a 'patriot militia'..

I guess I'm wrong for saying what I said. Maybe I'm not allowed to have an opinion here. Oh yeah, people like me are insignificant.

I don't believe you are actually asking a question so much as getting something off your chest. I will respond to your rant, though.
First of all, who said Muslims are the ONLY ones who commit terrorist acts? I've never heard anyone say that., never mind THINK it. How do you know what everyone thinks?
I believe we tried and convicted McVeigh.
He is a "christian" as much as Osama is a "Muslim". He may spout words to that effect, but actions are the proof of who you are, not words.
Jesus did not call his disciples to kill in his name. Some Muslims believe that Allah has called them to kill.
Any Christian who would kill another human being better be defending himself or he is sinning.
That's the difference - walking it, not just talking it.
I haven't heard of an abortion clinic being bombed in years. But can you at least see that people think abortion is murder?

The difference being Tim McVeigh didn't enjoy popular support from his compatriots like Muslim terrorists do. Tim McVeigh doesn't have an entire network devoted to supporting his ideals like Muslim terroists do ( Al Jazeera) Tm McVeigh isn't lauded as a hero by anyone that I am aware of. Palestinians danced in the streets waving pictures of Osama on 9-11...

believe it or not you will see a hook up between McVeigh and Muslims down the road.We have 1 terrorist to every 1,000,000 of theirs.The Muslims are fighting us in Iraq,Afganistan,Kosovo.They are fighting the Indians in Kashmir and from Pakistan.They are fighting in the Phillipines and Indonesia,the Sudan,Darfur,and Yes, even France,So get off your" High Horse",they want world wide religious domination.

It is understood why you would ask this, but the muslim thing is just the current events. It's hard when it happens every day. What we need to remember is that these people are not mainstream muslims, but radicals who are perpetuating some bad philosophy while trying to validate it with religion. Mainstream muslims hate what they are doing.

Broad generalizations people make, like those about Muslims, or as you stated, even Christians are the reason intolerance and hatred grow, and its unfounded and biased.

It just goes to show you that all religions are dangerous, not just Islam.
