Every religious group has some end-of-the-world prophecies, but they don't all go flying passenger planes into American skyscrapers.

Agreed, but every group has some members who use their personal interpretations of their scriptures to justify some pretty horrid acts. I'm not trying to make religions out to be equivalent. I was just struck by the fact that fanatics of all stripes can sound amazingly like each other.

In any case, thanks for your comments.

Point taken, but it's the difference between "everyday" crimes (from misdemeanors to murder) and an global war.

Non-fanatics of all stripes can also sound amazingly like each other.
