I think it's time you took a look at yourself and realized it's not the rest of us ignoring Islamic extremists, it's you being overly defensive about the Christian extremists. I happen to despise radicals of all religions and have stated that numerous times. You just don't listen unless it strikes your chord.

Here's the problem with your logic. Before you go pointing the finger at the abuses of your neighbor you have to clean up your own house first or you have NO credibility. This isn't an issue of degree here as you tend to try to make it.

If your dog craps in your yard but only leaves 20 turds a week, before you can go off to the neighbors and complain about the smell from their dog's 25 turds a week, you have to pick up your own shit or you haven't a leg to stand on. Radical Islam is not a problem here in our country yet. Radical Christianity is. I know the level of extremism isn't what you'll find on the streets of Lebanon but that doesn't matter until you establish some sense of balance.

You as a Christian have a primary responsibility to rail against the abuses of the radical element of your church before you have the right to start sticking your nose in the matters of other countries. Nobody's asking you to denounce your faith but even the tiniest piece of outrage when Pat Robertson calls for political assassinations around the world might be a start.

How about when someone posts something about an obvious abuse that you first acknowledge that it before you start pointing the fingers of partisanship at the messenger. Not once in this thread have you commented that this stupid game is a bad idea.

Bottom line, it sounds like you kind of get off on the idea.
