As a Christian, I have to believe that all have the opportunity to be saved by belief in the risen savior, Jesus Christ. If we take them out first, we are robbing ourselves of this opportunity. rwerw »

I agree that there should not be an automatic association between "terrorist" and "Muslim". Terrorists come from many faiths and walks of life (or at least claim certain faiths and walks of life). I don't think that it is as much of a stretch as the terrorist != Catholic analogy. Catholicism is based on the Bible. No where in the Bible does God condone murder. The New Testament (OT was written to the Israelites), loving God and then loving man are the top two commandments. And no where is there a command to kill those who don't convert to Christianity. However, Islam is based on the Koran (Quran, pick which ever one works for you). Love is not the overriding priciple there. It does in fact command Muslims to convert or kill infidels. Terrorism (along with the jihad which can "spiritualize" terrorism) is a logical extension of killing infidels. It is more natural for a Muslim to be a terrorist than a Catholic. Or to put that a little more clearly, it is less unnatural for a Muslim to be a terrorist than for a Catholic. On the bottom line, terrorists are people, regardless of what faith they claim. cetroyer I found my post and thought I'd throw it in... <blockquote>Good point. Regardless of religion, the true root of the problem is human nature. And every human comes packaged with that. However, Islam is more violent than Catholicism (to maintain the analogy).
