So, foolestroupe, do we acknowledge Christianity's past and ignore Islam's present? Or do we ignore Christianity's past and acknowledge Islam's present? Do we ignore both's past and present? Must we acknowledge every subculture's or religion's past (or even present) wrongs in order to be allowed to point out the obvious wrong in a religion's current state?

Islam and Christianity are not the same. Why would one feel the need to bring up the evil of Christianity's past when discussing Islam? To make Islamic terrorism seem less threatening? To say that we shouldn't respond to Islamic terrorism now because they are only doing what Christianity did 500-800 years ago? Are you only comfortable in condemning an act if you first acknowledge everyone who has ever committed the same act in the distant past?

BUT MOM, HE DID IT TOO!!!!!
