Ah. See, when they're Christians killing people, they're "loudmouths." When they're Muslims, they're "mass murderers."

I do agree that Middle East terrorists are currently the champs in killing people. But Al-Qaedians tend to come from very fundamentalist sects of Islam; they're a small minority within the religion. And their motivation has less to do with religion than it does with local culture.

Which is why your average American Muslim is no more likely to kill someone than you or I. And has a much greater respect for free speech and tolerance than anyone living in Waziristan, Christian or Muslim.

Are you really this ignorant of the actions of people professing your own faith? Yet you expect Muslims to not only know of every such act, but to give credence to the idea that it actually reflects on them, rather than being the actions of a few criminals or "loudmouths."

Ah, so here we get to the core of the matter. Never mind that the Bible is filled with horrific violence, slavery, polygamy, etc. My favorite is God sending bears to kill children who made fun of one of his prophets. Or God giving the Jews permission to kill everyone in Judea so they can have the land.

You wouldn't want to be held accountable for everything in the Bible. So why do you hold Islam accountable for everything in the Quran? (though I'll wager that the lines you're referring to, if they exist, are either now interpreted allegorically or come from a hadith, not the Quran).
