Yep, Christians and Muslins have been fighting for many many years. However, the stakes are a bit higher with modern warfare. It's one things to fight with sword and the use of horses, entirely something different with the weapons available today. Are we headed to all out war between Christians and Muslins once again? If so, it really could be the end of the world as we know it. That's an ugly thought. Think I'll go and play some golf. Fore!

while time has past and much has changed the intents of the past has not...proof positive Egypt today and the burning of christain churches and schools.
The intents have stood the test of time. It is obvious whatever weapons/destructive means is available to the likes of those in Egypt will be used to promote their cause.
The other advantage the Muslims have is the overly tolerant and permissive mode our country is in. The timid and the tolerant will be over run.
