I know plenty of Christians who are good and decent people. The religious right is not these people, down to the brokest, bitterest footsoldier.
If we condemn Islam for not repudiating the terrorists claiming it as their religion, we can also condemn Xtianity for not casting out these vengeful pharisees.
I think that anybody arguing for greater understanding and tolerance of Islam should also try to understand that there are many different branches of Christianity, and almost all are tolerant, inviting, and forgiving. It's the same argument, and it deserves to be said.
Also, I've heard the argument presented in the second panel, and it is the most illogical, infuriating, and ridiculous argument available today.
