...Dude, I'm totally up on U.S. and world history, so there's no ignorance on my part.  As far as religion is concerned, let's review and I'll simplify it so you can follow along:

Chritianity = love others as you'd love yourself
RADICAL Islam = hate others who are different from you (again don't lose sight of the word radical)

I'm aware that every religion will have its radical groups that lose sight of what the religion is really about.  And while ultra radical groups like the KKK go around preaching superiority and hatred along racial lines, you don't see too many instances of a klansmen bombing himself just to take out a few innocent victims of another race, or hijacking planes and crashing them into buildings.  Do you know the meaning of the word jihad?  What's the Christian equivalent to it?  Or the Jewish version of it?

But then again, you're missing the big point (big surprise there!).  By linking to the article the way you did in your previous post, you suggest that we're hated b/c of our involvement in Iraq.  Dude, the U.S. has been hated for centuries, and Christians and Jews  have been hated for thousands of years!!!  Linking to an article that discusses what some misguided U.S. soldiers (who by no means represent our armed forces as a whole) have done is shameful on your part.  And extremely ignorant.

BTW, jjackflash WAS my username for over 5 years on this site.  I continue to use it b/c that's what people know me by.  Rest assured, enough people on these boards know who I am!
