Oh, c'mon Bronco. Don't be so wild-eyed. You're condemning an entire religion for the actions of a few. I'm simply saying that's ridiculous. Condemn the terrorists, not everyone who uses the same holy book.
I don't see Christians turning out in huge numbers to denounce the Westboro Baptist Church nutjobs, do you? Sure, you ask an individual Christian and he'll say they're nuts and don't represent Christianity. But nobody expects Christians to be out marching and waving banners, or to comment every time the WBC idiots picket another funeral.
Which is as it should be. It doesn't make sense to assume that a billion Christians (or a billion Muslims) support terrorism simply because they don't go in front of TV cameras every day to denounce it.

Why is it that the defenders of these actions from muslims need to throw in Christians? Your last sentence is quite pathetic raytri, tell us when the last time Christians acted in that manner ?

Medieval times. And I've stated many times that large areas of the Muslim world are inhabited by people still living in medieval tribal cultures. So my point is that if they were Christian, they would practice a medieval form of Christianity. The problem is the culture, not the specific religion.
