The Protestant Reformation was one of the bloody times in history, especially in Britain. One of the main reasons we don't have religious war in the US is the First Amendment prohibition against the establishment of a state religion and allowing the citizens free exercise of their religious rights and the reason that is in the Constitution is that the men who wrote it were very aware of the damage religious wars can do.
I am often vocal, perhaps too vocal, about my opposition to any combination of church and state, but one of my most deeply held beliefs is that combining the two would result in exactly the sort of chaos that currently exists in the Middle East. But it is beyond absurd to call for "carpet bombing" entire countries because of the actions of a few. The domestic terrorists in the US in recent memory have been Christian. Should other nations call for carpet bombing us to prevent the spread of "Christian Terrorism"? I know the "carpet bombing" line was easy soundbite for you, and it almost hints at you trolling a bit. But you're better and smarter than that.
