Re: "...Christian to protect your family." Also Muslim to protect your family... Hindu to protect your family... Confucian to protect your family, Animist to protect your family... Buddhist to do the same... Zorasterian to do the same... even Atheist to protect your family. (It's hardly unique to want to protect one's family.) But is it 'Christian' to say an unknown stranger is 'never welcome in your house'? "Moslems hate Christians, so any one of them might attack any Christian given the opportunity." Really? ALL of 'them'? Every single one? (Any Christians --- such as, perhaps, yourself --- hate Moslems? Didn't you say much the same? 'No Moslem is ever welcome in your home because... Why? Hate for them?) "And, don't tell me that moslems don't hate Christians. The koran tells them that they must hate, and/or kill all infidels. Christians are infidels in the eyes of a moslem." Actually, Christians and Jews are officially regarded with some measure of sympathy or empathy because they are OFFICIALLY known as 'people of the book', i.e., Christians and Jews share the Old Testament with the Muslim religion. Therefore: 'people of THE BOOK'. One thing most religious fundamentalist Muslims 'hate' far more then members of different religions are APOSTATES. I.e., 'sects' of Islam that have SPLIT from the 'one true way', (i.e., what tenets THEY themselves hold to... <G>); SUNNIS call the Shiite minority 'Apostate' and the SHIITES call the Sunnis 'Apostate'. (This is actually quite common in religious histories....)
