[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Saying radical Christian or radical.Muslim to me differentiates from the peace lovers. Its just different ways of looking at it. But neither attacks the entire group.[/quote]

I am not complaining about saying "radical Muslim". The post that I criticized said "Islam" which refers to the entire religion. I think we should be even more specific than simply saying "radical". We are really concerned with those that resort to violence and oppression. They can be as radical as they want if they don't engage in violence and oppression.

I think there are a fee layers of discussions under way - one, what to call radical.Muslims ( your point above well taken, so what's the term?).
2) what to call a faith that is operationalozed in many places in a not very human rights friendly way ( Isis caliohate, Sa, Iran, Pakistan to name a few) and that teaches ita youngsters a very stern and infidel unfriendly world view?
3) what to call a religion which imposes restrictions on non believers with regard to its faith. Does the average Muslim feel there is a right, or no right, for non believers to draw muhammed? Can someone in the faith do it and suffer no more than a religious repercussion such as excommunication?[/quote]

I agree.  And the way to figure this out is to ask how we would handle it in our own backyard?

The Klan is a good enough example.  They have most of the elements, including a brand of Christianity that prohibits race mixing.  [/quote]
