To an outsider to Christianity, it might appear that the KKK or the Lords Resistance Army or torture of 'witch children' in Nigeria; are something that Christians should be distancing themselves from, while internal to Christianity they already figure they're distant enough. How could anyone possibly think the actions of a radical militant sect reflect on Christianity as a whole? But let some Muslim terrorists hit us where it hurts, and Muslims all over the world are expected to fall all over themselves apologizing for them and denouncing them, and although plenty have, it's never enough for some people.
The icing on the cake is so many atheists telling Muslims what they have to believe in order to be true Muslims, based on the atheist's interpretation of the Qur'an and hadiths. Isn't that stupid? Don't we want them to cherry pick their scriptures in a way that allows them to participate in modernity? It's like going after Jews to tell them they have to stone disobedient children or they're not true followers of Yahweh. Well, maybe they're not, but I say we just humor them about not stoning children...let them use whatever excuse works for them, because if we convince them that their only choice is to stone disobedient children or give up their religion, some of them might just pick their religion.
