And why shouldn't he? Do you remember anyone asking christians if they agreed with Brejvik, although he claimed to act as a christian warrior? Do your recall anyone asking christians if they agree with abortion clinic attacks? These questions are reserved for muslims and so he's rightfully outraged. Why should they be asked to distance themselves when the same question isn't asked in case of christian or jewish nutters?
It's a double standard, plain and simple.
Why did they even ask, is a very valid question.
Because Christians are the majority here in the US, Abaris. We KNOW that killing innocent people is not Christian teaching. But there may be people here who don't know anything about Islam except for what they see on the news about them constantly blowing people up. So I see nothing with CNN having a Muslim on there to clarify to all the more ignorant people that, no, they are not all in support of that type of action.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
