I truly wish this were true, LoBlo, but I was thinking about those religious right folks that blow up birth control centers or the bomber at the Atlanta Olympics in the name of their god.
In my way of thinking, both sides have extremists. I avoid them both...at all costs.
edit: oh yeah, almost forgot about those folks that show up at G.I.'s funerals and picket, yelling that they had it coming to them. Disgraceful, and yep, no tolerance. |
Every society has its radicals. The difference is in whether those radicals are contained or encouraged. Western radicals are informed upon, hunted down and incarcerated, whereas Islamic radicals are honored and revered. You don't see the difference?
