While not actuallty posting i've kept an eye on this site sporadically.
My view is that both sides in many debates stick to polarised opinions to strengthen the force of there retoric. To clear things up, some people hate other people just for what they believe. It is true. It does not matter what faith we are talking about. It doesn't matter if we're talking oabout faith. I think recently there were atrocities commited in Vietnam by people who call themselves Buddists, a faith that abhors voilence.
Both Islam and Christainity have unpinnings in notions of love and respect.
To Faith and Buzsaw, there is no need to be so defensive of your religion, it gives the image your belief is unstable. Christainity is a beuatiful and strong faith that, like anything, has both positives and negatives.
Do not tar everyone with the same brush. I wonder how many Muslims you know, and what you think of them?
PS, to both sides on this debate: do not engage in petty name calling, try and be considerate when putting forward your ideas, you only undermine them if you don't
