My post does not in any means praises Islam or anything. When a Christian keeps saying theirs is a religion of peace and Muslim's a terrorism breeder, they should look at their past years since Constantine legalizes Christianity.
Since Islam is still a "minority" in face of Christianity's 2 billion population, I'm sure it's Christianity's turn to blow planes into buildings when they become "minority" instead. All these Muslim terrorism came because they were oppressed all over the world while Christianity enjoys special treatment just because they're stereotype mainstream, like in U.S. Honestly, it will be intresting to see how Christians react when they're in Islam's shoes...now. |

Although I find it highly significant that so many moderate Muslims seem to find terrorism somewhat acceptable, it should be noted that left-wing academics often join such people in a loathsome relativistic view of the moral import of terrorism.
Sorry folks, there is just no moral equivalence between trying to hunt innocent people and killing innocent people in the process of hunting terrorists who shield themselves with civilians. Both are tragedies that should be avoided, one is invariably an inexcusable crime. That being said, every Muslim I personnally know have earned all my respect. They are intellectual, skeptical and polite. Shining examples of the fact that not only are religions not necessarily harmful, they can be a positive influence on one's intellectual and emotional life.
