Once again, Don, you resort to your favorite bogeyman, Islamic terrorists, in an attempt to deflect criticism of Christian terrorists. There are far more Christian terrorists in the world than just abortion clinic bombers. For example, sexual predator Clergy in both Catholic and Protestant churches. In my book they are just as numerous and commit terror just as much as any suicide bomber. Both take life away from their victims.
And once again you take the easy way out by claiming that if any evil is done by a Christian, well then, they couldn't be a "real" Christian could they? What a cop out. That's small comfort to the victims of Christianity throughout the ages and today. Just because you don't consider them, theologically, to be a Christian doesn't change the fact that they operated under that label. Maybe you wouldn't consider a pedophile Baptist Pastor to be a Christian, but his victims would.
In the minds of many people in the world, including mine, there is very little difference between Islamic suicide bombers and Christian soldiers of a conventional army. They both kill innocent civilians with bombs, only the Christians are less honest and call it "collateral damage". The Christian soldiers of an invading army are just as much terrorists, when viewed from the perspective of the other side, as suicide bombers are.
You seem to think that only Muslims are capable of terrorist acts. More and more atrocities committed by Christian soldiers in Iraq, including rape and murder, are coming to light, but you wouldn't know that if you only watch Fox News.
In all wars soldiers on each side claim God is on their side, so which side is right?
