And some Religious Right in this country targeted people who worked in abortion clinics. Do we condemn all Christians for the actions of the radical few? This is not a fair premise. You would, no doubt, agree that Jerry Falwell typifies the "Religious Right". However, Falwell has NEVER supported an abortion clinic bombing or killing of an abortion provider. That's the difference. The "Religious Right" never supported violence. The people who committed violence in the name of Christianity were not, in fact, part of the "Religious Right" -- they were criminals, and the "Religious Right" views them as criminals. Suicide bombers are viewed by a substantial portion of the Islamic community as heroes or martyrs. It isn't the same thing.

Ted Re...And some Religious Right in this country targeted people who worked in abortion clinics. Do we condemn all Christians for the actions of the radical few? In selected cases you sure seem to want too. You say to David, the violence of Islam isn't systemic, even though thousands of mullahs and schools teach anitwestern values and actions,whereas you indict the far right for the teachings of Falwall and Robertston, even though you can't point out one instance where either directly incited their followers to violence. Hypocrisy at its worst.
