I didn't say they had. I said, in fact, you could find lunatics anywhere. (Atheism, Christians, Jews, whatever)

As you can see, Islamic extremists haven't cornered the market on crazy. There are plenty of good, wholesome, God-fearing Christians performing violent acts for the glory of God.

Thats a pretty lame list. So you have a few nuts who dont represent any organized or recognised christain church vs millions of Muslim extremists. There is NO comparison. Also they dont represent anywhere near the danger of radical Islam.

So, is it really fair to blame Islam and Christianity in their entirety, or do you think it's perhaps more reasonable to blame the nuts in both religions who by all accounts are acting in contrary to the true teachings of their faiths?

Blame both but it seems that Islam is a far more fertile place as far as producing nuts goes.

Which millions would these be?

I believe its accepted that only ten percent of Muslims could be called radicals. Do the math. What percentage of christains would fit this same criteria?

"I believe its (sic) accepted..."?

Hmmm.

When statements are made in the passive voice it usually means one of three things:

1) I really don't know what I'm talking about but I am trying to sound like I do;

2) I am making a statement that I believe, but I have no way of backing it up;

3) I am a government employee and I don't want to tie my own name to the statement I am making.

Yes, I'm curious as to the answer to that question as well.

You think the one in the hole is a radical? Sorry you lose

1) I really don't know what I'm talking about but I am trying to sound like I do;

Ive heard this figure many times but certainly we dont know the actual numbers . Maybe you could enlighten us all. Lets say its 1 percent. How many does that give you?

I am making a statement that I believe, but I have no way of backing it up;

Thats more like it but i will try to .

I am a government employee and I don't want to tie my own name to the statement I am making.

No way I work for the government.
