You pick obscure representatives of the muslim community to represent your view that american muslims are the same as you and me, and then you use obscure christian representatives to "advance" your view that christianity does indeed promote violence.

I may be reading a little too much into what you doing here, but i don't think by a lot.

islam is the biggest threat to the safety of freedom loving peoples on the globe. We can ignore it at our peril.
remember the bullies in school. Did ignoring them or placating them diminish the bullied's problems, or escalate the abuse? Think about it.
