nothing unites the ignorant masses like a common hatred;
the corollary is, if you want people to rise up against YOUR enemy, only tell them what you want them to know, and that is only enough to get them to also hate your enemy.
we're all in this together. regardless of faith.

The Bible is full of tales of violence. Islam is basically wherethe Christian world was a century ago re the rights of women etc. so we shoulnt be toffee nosed and oh so righteous. Help your brother and sister to achieve more enlightenment and stop throwing stones when you live in a glass house.Kirk

experts on Islam are beginning to see that it is a religion of violence.well. And, how about all of the "family values" preachers who quote bible passages that are then used to support beating gay people to death. Or the KKK who purport to be following good christian teachings too. I always thought that Jesus preached tolerance and forgiveness, but this doesn't seem to be too in vogue in many christians.
Is Islam a religion of violence, or is the violence related to the fact that a large portion of the world's islam population is in opressed third world countries where there is little hope of changing their government (or the US government) that is opressing them and people turn to religion instead, in this case Islam, picking and choosing the portions of it that help them resist their opression, which are often the violent portions.
My impression of christianity is that it is a particularly violent religion as well. At least the way many so called christians choose to practice it. I have had christians tell me how good GWB is and how they know he's a good born again christian. So either they're wrong, or christianity too has a place for extreme violence as
