Nope, didn't change the subject. But maybe you can't relate the two in your head.

No one was hurt, but it is still a form of terror. And in the past 20 years, there have been many attacks on abortion clinics, physicians who perform abortions (forgetting Dr. Tiller?), gay bars, and let's not forget the Atlanta Olympic bombing.

My family was also, personally, attacked by radical Christians because we are Jewish. I am only 26 years old and in my lifetime had a cross burned on my lawn, rocks thrown through windows displaying menorahs, and my brother was once beat up in a parking lot after wishing a cashier a "Happy Chanukkah" when she said, "Merry Christmas." War on Christmas, my tush. And I have dozens of stories that, while not violent, were very traumatizing at the hands of my friends' Christian fundamentalist parents.

While I have had precious few positive interactions with Christians (and now live in a very irreligious area of the country), I know that all do not follow the type of extreme, fundamentalism that I grew up around. On the other hand, I have quite literally never had a bad interaction with Muslims - even spending time living in the very Muslim-dominant East End of London. I've even dated Muslim men - clearly being a liberal, Jewish woman wasn't a deterrent.

And re: women's rights, check out Orthodox Judaism. Women are expected to cover as well and there are frankly prehistoric rituals around menstruation.

There are fundamentalists in every faith. Even the Sikhs, who are some of the most genuinely peaceful, kind, warm-hearted people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, have an extremist faction that participates in terrorism.

Terrorism is POLITICAL rather than RELIGIOUS.

Yep, many more attacks in the US perpetrated by non-Muslims. GTD Search Results Many of the results in this search actually targeted Muslims. Its white men targeting Muslims or the government...so maybe it is them we should be concerned about.

Christians had nothing to do with the Oklahoma City bombing.

McVeigh was an agnostic.

Muslim propaganda. Isn't that obvious? They probably produce more propaganda than Joseph Stalin!
