Well in the States they give Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell time to broadcast their rather narrow, pathetic views on the TV. Those of us who know that they don't speak for all Christians don't always stand up and refute them, we know they are ridiculous and ignore them.

Perhaps the few views we get here in the western world of Islam have been very unbalanced. We have been allowing the fanatics to become the main speakers of the group simply because it makes for good dramatic television while many of those of more moderate views shrug their shoulders because they know the fanatics are ridiculous. A lot fo them are also a lot poorer and are spending a lot of time simply working like hell to get food, water and other basics for themselves and their families.
