I do agree that it's wrong to persecute every person in a religion for one groups actions, for example it's wrong to blame all the world's muslims for 9/11 and suicide bombers, but 9/11 is still an example of religous AND islamic extremism, you can get more specific and say it was sunni, pashtunwali, or wahhabist extremism, but it was inpired by islam, even if you prove Osama, was in fact atheist, all along, it still wouldn't change the fact that those involved were inspired by islam and did it in the name of islam.
I just want to make sure your both claiming that christianity isn't to blame for anything..... any violence or injustice committed in their names.....witch burnings, native americans, crusades, just nothing?.... that isn't what I'm arguing against am I?
I think the whole point here wasn't to argue what christianity was responsible for. I think it was just to point out that the actions of dictators can't be blamed on atheism.
