So you think Jerry "Mohammed was a terrorist" Falwell belongs in the same camp as Osama bin Laden? Wow! Can I place anyone who claims "Jesus and his followers were liars or lunatics" in the same camp as well? Last time I checked, Falwell isn't inciting his followers to fly planes into skyscrapers. Or detonate explosive hidden in their shoes. Or fire anti-aircraft missiles at planes taking off. Or bomb embassies. Nor is Falwell doing anything that indirectly hints at such extremist action. If you find Falwell's comments distasteful and inappropriate, fine. Just say so. No need to associate him or anyone else you find distasteful with terrorists. That would be rather "intolerant" of you, which is ironic considering how liberals are supposedly the champions of "tolerance." You can chose to interpret what I write as you wish. I think I worded my sentence quite carefully to draw a distinction between the OBLs and Falwells of the world. Furthermore, as far as I am concerned, people can believe whatever mumbo jumbo they wish as long as this does not become a burden on others. That is the ultimate level of tolerance as far as I am concerned. Falwell on the other hand, he is anything but tolerant. Yesterday, as an example, he was on CNN ranting at Bernie Frank about homosexuality and the immorality of it and he went as far as to suggest that the WTC attack came from God to punish us for the immorality of a homosexual lifestyle. How's that for tolerance ? Al

The evil that is Falwell and OBL comes from the same place. However, they choose to act out their evilness differently. If you think that makes Falwell better, think again. ted
