Maybe you read what I wrote, but I doubt you understood it.




Christianity was allowed to evolve. You seem to think Christianity isn't so bad these days. I agree. Do you deny that it once was? Because if you do you might want to read up on the Spanish Inquisition, the Age of Religious Warfare, and the Crusades.


The fact of the matter is that at one point in history Christianity was just as jingoistic as any Islamic terrorist is today. Christianity, along with the rest of Western culture, changed. Islam does not deserve this same opportunity? Must we label it as "evil" because here and now people do evil things in its name?


They deserve the same choices we've had. They'll always deserve the same choices we've had, until they cross a certain line. 9/11 was such a line. Bin Laden crossed it, and we went after him. In my mind that was perfectly justifiable. Our continued interference in Middle Eastern nations, especially Iraq, where polls have shown for the last four years that Iraqis don't particularly like having us there. (Here's a link to what I'm talking about.)
