Beyond that their approach to the issue would be like a fundamentalist taking the bible at face value and ignoring everything ever put forth by Christian theologists after. Throw out Martin Luther, all the Popes, St. Augustine, and all denominations of Christianity etc. - if we were to look at Christianity the way they look at Islam then we must look at only what’s written in the bible and interpret it literally, only occasionally straying afield to quote mine from extreme Christian people like Fred Phelps and David Koresh.

When we let our emotions rule supreme, we always end up with a cloudy view of what’s happening, even though our “feelings” feel justified. My anger over what happened on 9/11 resulted in my lumping terrorists and Islam together. Islam entered my thoughts for the first time and those thoughts were not good ones. Now, I realize that the terrorists are just a small percentage of Islam and my guess is that the self- appointed terrorist leadership has selfishly co- opted religion for the attainment of power (not the first time this has happened in the history of mankind).
