You know, the more I think about this, the more I question it. There
is definitely a sick minority of Muslims that support suicide bombers
blowing up marketplaces indiscriminately (and I think Thom is right to
say Christianity has its own share of sickos), but that's not going to
be nearly the number of Muslims that are willing to accept civilian
deaths as collateral damage. The latter Muslims, are they really so
different than ourselves? How many American Christians are willing to
accept civilian deaths as collateral damage when it comes to our
bombs?
