Do some research Graciegirl. And I recall a lot of voices of many religions made against the Boston Bombers who were/are Chechen-Americans if I remember correctly. That is sort of attacking Christians for the Oklahoma City bombings which had next to nothing to do with religion.
Tal, again I say I think you are who needs to do the research. I mentioned that in an earlier post.

Let's try it this way. If you take a random sample of 5,000 Muslims and 5,000 Christians, do you honestly think the probability of finding a genuine terrorist or terrorist sympathized is equal in both populations?

The answer is obviously no. The reason for this is also obvious in that one religion, in modern times especially, has shown a much higher propensity for violence. That is a fact that no amount of wishful thinking can trump.

But, for whatever reason, you don't want to admit that. Probably an emotional thing or proclivity towards being fair which is commendable, but in this case inaccurate. As an earlier poster said, this results in us not being able to finally call a duck for what it is ... a duck.
