It's getting somewhat tiresome listening to the moral equivalency of radical Islam and Christian Fundementalism. It's a stupid argument at the root and one need only to compare the Taliban as it used to be in Afghanistan and Aceh province in Indonesia to our bible belt (the heart of Christian fundementalism) to see the glaring difference. I would challenge anyone who believes there is a comparison to go to Aceh and have a drink of scotch in front of a mosque there and do the same thing in front of a pentacostal church in Alabama. I've done the latter, actually it was bourbon, I'm not stupid enough to do the former. I suspect none of the morally superior folks who tsk-tsk at the childishness of both fundementalist christians and muslims alike are smart enough not to as well, yet probably wouldn't admit to the glaring difference between the two.



BTW, Chris Bell, you nailed it.
