Re: Only problem is that with militant Muslims, you don't have to go far back at all. Just look at today's headlines. Indeed... 2001 anthrax attacks From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two Democratic U.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others. The ensuing investigation became "one of the largest and most complex in the history of law enforcement." Media reports focused on other possible suspects for years, but FBI files show that the investigation began to focus on Bruce Edwards Ivins as early as April 4, 2005, when Dr. Ivins told the FBI he would not talk any further without his lawyer present. On April 11, 2007, Dr. Ivins was put under periodic surveillance because "Bruce Edwards Ivins is an extremely sensitive suspect in the 2001 anthrax attacks". Ivins was a scientist who worked at the government's biodefense labs at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland. In June 2008, Ivins was told of the impending prosecution, and on July 27, 2008 he committed suicide by an overdose of acetaminophen. On August 6, 2008, federal prosecutors declared Ivins to be the sole culprit of the crime. Two days later, Sen. Charles Grassley and Rep. Rush Holt called for hearings into the DOJ and FBI's handling of the investigation. On February 19, 2010, the FBI formally closed its investigation. [...] en.wikipedia.org

Ted, if you go far enough back in history, you can find any sin committed by zealots of any faith or belief system. Only problem is that with militant Muslims, you don't have to go far back at all. Just look at today's headlines. Another suicide bomber from the "religion of peace." Your judgement of current Christianity is based upon your view from a snug pew in the large, if not ostentatious, Crystal Palace. There are Christians in Nigeria, Congo etc.....that are not nearly as civilized. Sorry.
