Radical Islam is the problem, as is radical Christianity.
When it comes down to it, in the US, radical Christianity causes more problems than Islam.
Islam is about 1400 years old. Just think about what Christianity was like when it was 1400 years old.
Education is the answer.
coming from an ex-muslim, YOU'RE WRONG, YOU'RE SO WRONG.
Islam is the core source of radical muslims, it's in the teaching of islam and muhamed. Islam is the core problem, extremists are just a result.
first of all, you're exaggerating, second we're talking world wide, not just 'murica.
christians didn't blow themselves in the name of jezuz, the crusaders stood like men in war for a cause. Even if they were wrong, at least they didn't kill innocents including children and women in public to get 72 hookers in heaven. it's not about which one started first, the world moved on, they should to, being 6 centuries behind is not an excuse for terrorism.
I never said that Christians were doing such things today.
Christians were responsible for many attrocities when Christianity was at the same stage as Islam is now.
If explosives and high capacity rifles were available to Christians 600 or 700 years ago, you can bet they would have been using them.
Aztecs, Native Americans, Africans were all murdered in the 100's of thousands in a large part in the name of Christianity.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
