"Islam is a false religion but its too general to dismiss all Muslims as extremists."

There are extremists all over the place. How about Jimmy Jones and Charles Manson. They just didn't have as many follwers but the mentality was the same. If you don't belive the same as me I'll kill you. I don't believe all who call themselves Muslim are kill crazy. But it seems a large portion are.

Fanitics of any stripe are dangerous.

Don't kid yourselves or swallow propaganda. Just this morning one cleric was berating Moslems in non-theocratic countries because they weren't hating other religions enough, per Mohammed's commands. He then proclaimed that moderates will be damned to hellfire if they don't exterminate infidels when the opportunity arises.

Religion of peace? Who's worried about Penticostal suicide bombers or rabbis weilding box-cutters?

How about Jimmy Jones and Charles Manson. .......Fanatics of any stripe are dangerous.

No doubt about it, but we're talking percentages here. Manson, Jones, and their followers added up to just a few people. Radical Muslims - violent Muslims - number in the tens of millions, and they're utterly committed to the destruction of Western Civilization ......anything non-Muslim, in fact. I read a year or so ago that something like 22 of the 23 armed conflicts in the world involve Islamics or Islamic nations. Coincidence? I think not.

What do the Mansons and Jones have to do with Christianity, Judaism, or any religion for that matter? Why bring them up in this discussion where they obviously do not belong?
