But of course Christianity in general and the pope in particular are easy targets for cheap shots because no Christian is going to walk up behind you and cut your throat for the crime of blasphemy.

I would be curious to see a poll in Britain and in mainland Europe as to whether Christians or muslims are the greater threat.

Given that a British conservative here on FR had said from their viewpoint, the American conservatives look only a minute degree to the left of Genghis Khan, and various leftist and conservative papers in Britain both report British as a whole has high suspicion of America's "serious Christianity", I would imagine they would view real Christianity as a greater threat than Islam.

This would be even more so in Europe - France is the ultimate ACLU country.

I believe Muslims would easily win that race. Of course were you to include the USA as a choice for who is the greater threat I'm sure that we would win hands down.
