I guess you never read the Quran haven't you? Please read it.

So stop throwing out the red herrings.
In the United States? For both Muslim and Christian extremists I think that would be "0".

Now in other parts of the world it's a different story... How about the Buhddist Bin Laden whom ordered the burning alive of civilian Muslims...

'Buddhist Bin Laden': Myanmar's hate-mongering monk - LA Times

Or how about the Christian Militias of CAR whom hacked people apart with machetes and fed children to crocodiles...

Ethnic cleansing in Central African Republic, no genocide: U.N. inquiry | Reuters

Or how about good ole' Hans Breivek whom massacred children at gunpoint in the name of bringing back the Knights Templar of Christendom?....

One of Us: The Story of Anders Breivik and the Massacre in Norway by Åsne Seierstad

If you open your eyes you can see If you want to close your eyes and have a "us versus them" mentality then you will be blind. I vote "no" on all terrorism, whether Islamic, Christian, Jewish or otherwise inspired.

That's not how it works.

If terrorism is done in the name of Christ, it's Christian terrorism. It doesn't matter if it contradicts what Jesus would want. That's irrelevant to determine what motivates certain acts of terror.

Yup... you're really doing a good job of showing tolerance, love and the compassion of Christianity here. Very convincing on your part...

False. You cannot call yourself a Christian and not believe in Christ and his teachings. Any Christian doing bad things will be judged on their day of judgement.

Oh really? There are a whole lot of people that don't apply that principle to the Muslim world.

I don't believe in the Quran, and Muhammad was a false prophet. I truly hope he did not exist because I feel bad for Aisha and all his other wives and companions. Quran belongs to the fiction section. Believe in Muhammad should be illegal in the US because it calls for people to treat infidels as second class citizens, call for beheading, killing and violence.

Was it for religious reasons that he planned these actions? That is the case for the Islamists. Not the case here.

This caught my eye from the article...

“This man plotted to mercilessly kill us, kill our children, and blow up our mosque and our school,” said the spokesman, Muhammad Matthew Gardner. “All would agree, if a Muslim did this, the perpetrator would be immediately identified as a terrorist then prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

He would be correct. When these people repeatedly claim that they will defeat America - yes, they will be considered terrorists. It is what it is.

You're *really* convincing with such eloquent and rational arguments. I really wanted to become a Christian after you stated that you'd use another religion's holy book as toilet paper. Great job
