I don't understand what you're proposing.

I'm not proposing anything, just explaining why I think Muslims are getting the wrap they are.

We are a nation in which Christians make up the majority. We also are the most violent developed nation in the world in which at least a portion of that violence is committed by people who were raised as Christians. As Mani suggested, is it the religion or the culture that's responsible?

Huh? You are comparing violence in general, to targeting kids with suicide bombers? Sure...it's apples and apples (sarcasm). When you have Muslim religious leaders telling them to attack Americans, that is direct tie in with their religion. I doubt any of the Christians who committed violent acts were told to do so by their religion.

The only example that is close would be if the people who bomb abortion clinics were told to do so by their preachers. Even if that did happen, the action and the people who did it would be readily put in the 'kook' column by most Christians.

It would seem then, according to your thesis, that its the religion, and that American Christians should be making some sort of apology for all the killing.

It's interesting to see how you twist things into utter nonsense.

As far as feeling sorry for the Palestinians, I don't. They could have had their own state several times over if they would accept that Israel has a right to exist. They would rather fight and be terrorists than try to live in peace with the Jews. Israel didn't start the war in 1948.
