I am not angry, I just disagree with you, and I especially dislike prejudice.

<<Do you really expect me to excuse moslems when I am a dedicated Christian? You foolishly expect too much of any person who is dedicated to a cause.>>

If your dedication to any cause, causes you to act with malice or to do things blindly, "in the name of the cause", then that is fanaticism. If you think expectations of people to act without malice towards entire groups of people because of the actions of one person is unreasonable, then I feel very sorry for you.

<< Am I the only on on either side who shows prejudice?>>

That is completely irrelevant. You can not control the comments of other individuals, but you can control yourself.
Disparaging an entire religion because you are arguing with one individual is wrong.

If you had said that you are a christian and don't believe in Muslim tenents, explained your reasons and gone on your way, nobody would be offended. but ot callously imply that all Muslims are terrorists is wrong and it is prejudiced.
