"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity."—Ann Coulter.
What is the difference between this and Muslim extremists?

She did say that and I will back you up with a link. She is crazy. She also said about Democrat Congresswoman Maxine Waters this:"Without affirmative action, African-American Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA): couldn't get a job that didn't involve wearing a paper hat"
Column by Ann Coutler, August 9, 2006
The scary thing is that many of her supporters here will say that Coulter was right in her quote about Muslims.

"Most" is a pretty strong word to use here. Not only does that sound extremely generic to an audience that probably doesn't own a Bible but looks it up on the internet, but the fact that they're using quotes shows that they can fight the other side. I'm not Christian, but I truly respect the faith. I'm not athiest either, but I can respect the good people that follow that philosophy. I can quote both sides, and that just shows that I have studied both sides and can argue intelligently. Here's my problem with you, love me or hate me for it. Since when was Christianity (any religion, really) a contest? Since when was it acceptable to consider any sort of religious calling a "winning" situation? Like I said, I don't have anything against Christianity, but it's a statement like that that makes me angry against the ignorance of certain practitioners. It's not a race, there's no score board. Have you read the whole Bible? Statistics show that you probably haven't. Also, the Bible is full of historical allusions in the form of stories and whatnot. Is it wrong to take those in a different context, one that not only is harmless to the religion, but could possibly be enlightening? Is reading the Bible for historical references or for trying to read it in a neutral or outside of any religious setting a big ol' point for your tally? I don't think so. I plan on reading and studying the Bible so I can fully understand the nature of certain aspects, but I will most likely not return to the Christian faith because of my own reasons. That does not make me a bad person, but it doesn't help your cause either. Don't make this into a game. God knows we have enough jerks pushing that notion in this world, regardless of which line of faith it is.

That's a Christian extremist speaking. One is just about as bad as the other. And it's a very medieval attitude.
You can't drag people kicking and screaming to the Altar for Baptism. Forcing someone to become Christian kinda defeats Gods purpose of Free Will.

Muslim extremists don't want leaders killed. They want to spread fear.
Ann's not really being a good Christian there. However, in certain countries, it's against the law to be a Christian or even posess a Bible.

I am suspicious of anyone who is a self proclaimed good Christian. A good Christian doesn't require the rest of the world to know.
I know she says some pretty whacked out things, but was this taken out of context?

There is no difference. They are both on a suicide for humanity mission. Both want the end of the earth and people to burn and suffer during the process. They are both psychopaths. Let's just hope the don't forget that they are enemies and start turning on the rest of humanity even more.

This is fairly typical of an extremist Christian, its the sort of diatribe you get from someone who was just "born again".
Coulter should just shut her stupid mouth and get back under whatever rock she crawled out from.
We can only hope she will lead by example and go to Iraq and become a martyr for Christendom. I am happy to put in for the one way ticket.

Absolutely, how else are we supposed to know if she is a good christian or just a christian if she doesn't mention killing. There is no difference between her, President Bush and Muslim extremists, they're all delusional.

Nice job of selective editing. First off, it might behoove you to remember when that column was published: September 12, 2001. Second, you took her quote so far out of context as to be rendered meaningless except for propaganda purposes.

I happen to consider myself a good Christian, and I would never
make a statement like that seriously.
I would be hard put to even say it in jest.
