The issue under discussion at present is why Muslim demonstrators are reacting with such fervour and violence.

I find it very difficult to understand why people who support the war in Iraq continually seem to confuse the issues there with Bin Laden's actions of 9/11. These conflicts began because the Bush government was unable to find Bin Laden and the public wanted retribution so they started a war - either justified or unjustified - to take the pressure off. Believe it or not, it had nothing to do with Christian behaviour. Muslim extremism is a problem as it is in any religion.

So yes, it applies to Christians as well. The problem is, the 'Christian' ones among us seem to have lost sight of their goals, while the Muslims seem to have a very clear goal.
