And now you get mad at me when I say that you said the Relgious Right is just as bad as the extreme Muslims? I don't get it.

Well, at least you understood the ignore request was a joke... I think... that's progress.
Rupert, do some research on where fundamentalist Christians and fundamentalist Muslims stand on women, birth control, gays, and the role of religion in government and get back to me. I think you'll find they have remarkably similar positions on these topics, they just differ on how often you pray and who the big prophet was.
My point from that earlier post was, we need to be just as firm with our home-grown, Christian terrorists as we are with foreign, Muslim ones, else we look like hypocrites. Our "war" should not be against Islam, it should be against religious extremism, no matter what religion that extremism wraps itself in. And we should couch it in those terms, because then the moderates of all faiths will get behind us, knowing we're not attacking "their" religion; we're attacking those who would attempt to harm anyone's right to practice any faith freely and openly.
