What is the difference between Extremist Muslims and Extremist Christians? The difference would be what they are called. Extremist Muslims are called Extremist Muslims. Extremist Christians are called nutcases. The "Christian" part is not mentioned. They are all Extremists. If Extremist Christians had flown those 9/11 aircraft, would people protest a church being built nearby? Not likely.
What I have learned in my time as a Christian is that people should use their religions to guide them to the Right Way. It is to worship and to pray. To honor God and your fellow man. I would think Muslims are trying to do the same thing. The extremists get all the attention, kind of like Rush Limbaugh or Howard Stern in the media. If they were not making extreme comments and programs, they would fade out of view.
My issue lies with the fact that there are "Christian" groups that use God to somehow guide them to hate, kill, destroy. They are wrong, and the rest of us as Christians condemn them for these beliefs. (Think Aryan Nation, etc)
Yet, when Extremist Muslims commit an act, the entire religion is condemned, as if they all endorse it. I just have a hard time condemning an entire group of people because of a few.

I don't care much for nutcases of any stripe.
