Richie: Just look to the 20th Century and the Ku Klux Klan. They claimed to be Christian and would lynch black men for dating (much less MARRYING) white women. They claimed that the Bible forbade mixing the races. I found the following:

Deuteronomy 7:3-4 (Marry your sons or daughters to 'them' and the anger of the Lord will be swift)

1 Kings 11:1-43

2 Corinthians 6:14

It's not nearly as forgotten a practice as you think.

But, you might say, the Klan doesn't represent Christianity, as a whole, in this country - and you would be correct.

...now, how many Muslims are in this country? How many, as a percentage, are terrorists? How many honor killings go on here?

I still think the primary difference between Islam here and religions overseas is the fact that, with prosperity, you suddenly have more to your life than ONLY religion.
