>Islam is a religion and not all of it's followers are fanatical and dangerous any more than all of Christianity's followers are.<
I stand by this statement as my opinion which is the same now as it was when I wrote it. I thought I explained clearly what I meant.
********
"IMO - you are equating the two [religions]
as the same"
********
What I am talking about is NOT the religions but the misinterpretations, misapplications of faith by some of the people who call themselves followers of ANY given faith or cause according to how they inflict pain, damage, death, harm. That does not compare one with another according to how much one is being misapplied and it falls back to the original post about the "Christian Atheist".

"I don't understand why you claim my disagreement with you as verbal beheading. That in and of itself is pretty inflammatory, IMO. I only saw it as a disagreement. Does this mean that anyone who disagrees with you will be accused in like manner? Gee, seems kind of touchy to me."

The subject title was a bit of a stinger. I can see how it irritated you and I am sorry for that. Again, I don't intend to offend which I think the body of what I have been posting shows.
