Well... two of them are losers! Maybe that had more to do with it than the religion that they called theirs... ya think? Not sure how Christ inspired any of their actions. He sure as hell never advocated it. Can't say the same about Mohamed. I think we've all been on this merry-go-round before here at FFL. Violence is violence. Certain people are drawn to it, believe it is the answer. Certain people use their religion as a justification for practicing their violent tendencies. Violence against blacks, gays, Catholics, Mexicans, women - whoever. Christianity has advocated violence against non-believers or those who are "aberrations" within the context of its beliefs just as the Koran advocates violence against non-believers and those who are "aberrations" within the context of its beliefs. I think there are those more inclined towards violence due to their character, there are those that are angry, feel threatened or resentful. These are the people who will use any excuse, religious or otherwise, to interpret (mostly literally) the teachings of their respective religious tomes in a way that allows them to act our their aggression.

Yes, and simply substitute 'Christianity' for 'Islam' in your paragraph and the same is true. The militant Christian fundamentalists hate the militant Muslim fundamentalists so much, because it is like looking in a mirror, but waving a different "holy book".

View on www.thereligionofpeace.com http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx Preview by Yahoo The reasons are obvious and begin with the Quran. Few verses of Islam's most sacred text can be construed to fit the contemporary virtues of religious tolerance and universal brotherhood. Those that do are earlier "Meccan" verses which are obviously abrogated by later ones. The example of Muhammad is that Islam is a religion of peace when Muslims do not have the power and numbers on their side. Once they do, things change.
