The idea that the quote below somehow only applies to Muslims is the crux of my entire response. To make it about anything more than that is just you having a conversation with yourself, since that's not what I'm talking about. Neat that Muslims shouldn't be able to tell people who aren't in their faith what to do, but other religions should feel free to continue to do so...how that moves into a discussion of free speech and American laws and what areas on Earth I may or may not find myself more likely to get killed is beyond me, but if you want to respond to the actual point I'm making, feel free to do so, I'd welcome that -- but MUSLIMS WILL CUT YOUR HEAD OFF IN THE MIDDLE EAST!!!!11!!!!! is not a response germane to my point, but thanks for giving it a shot anyway, RP.

even with this clarified responce its still apples and oranges.
Who cares if Christian try to tell people how to live their lives. They do that because they feel they are helping people be "saved" (aka go to heaven). The book they read tells them to do that. Its easily shrugged off.
The other case is completely different. a "jihad" is completely different than trying to teach people what the Bible (a completely fiction book IMO) says.
