There are and have been a lot of religious fanatic extremists; using only one kind all the time to refer to an act is prejudiced and bigoted.

Why argue with me? If you're offended then argue with her. I think she was just borrowing a phrase and you're making a big deal over nothing. That is my opinion.

muzosi, <<<i think it was a slam too. she is talking about fanatic extremists and i don't think she means high praise by it. why doesn't she use crusaders who were more fanatical, brutal and violent and hacked off millions of people in the name of religion and destroyed Byzantium ? >>>

I totally agree with you. It was a slam, but I didn't mean it to be.

The world is filled with inhumanity. I think we should do all we can to root out all manifestation of man's inhumanity to mankind.

But, on my own behalf, I beg that we start by addressing the most egregious kinds of inhumanity and be more understanding of the more benign types. That is not to say that we should condone it.
