They are not. I don't see people straping bombs on their children's chest, and beheading children and saying they are doing it in the name of Christianity.

You did not see the quote marks. Islam or muslims is the same as christians, in that it is a root, a heading. All christians are not the same nor are all muslims.

I get your point, B, but feel the same as Poopsie said a few pages ago. Actually, I have had life experiences over the past 30 years, which led me to the same conclusions. To quote her post:
This whole topic is very interesting to me because a couple of years ago, I would have been among those who feel that it's too harsh to speak out against an entire religion based on some extremist views. What I've learned through conversations and observing a number of people I work with however, is that even the "assimiliated moderates" are extremist in most aspects of their faith. It's the way they've been trained to think and see the world around them. Despite the fact that they are a lot of fun, great to talk to, the women are affectionate with me and quite generous, it's an 'us vs them' culture. As a prime example, they only marry other Muslims or somebody has to convert (and it won't be the Muslim). Sound familiar? It's a sad by product of brainwashing and yes, they're as brainwashed as your average workaday JW or Morman or Amish etc ad nauseum...

Wow, sorry gals, but what religion doesn't encourage marrying in the faith? Catholics, JW's, Jews are ALL notorious for it! What does that have to do with killing unbelievers??

lol, I see you are way beyond civility - I was just weighing in, having known, worked with, had a Muslim landlord and etc. etc. for my whole life.
whatever. xx
Edit: and note, I highlighted the us vs them mentality ......... it is a cultural difference. Period. You can argue yourself blue in the face, but that will never change.
