I have to disagree with that. The difference between Christian Fundamentalist violence and Muslim Fundamentalist violence is a one having a better publicist. When some Muslim goes off, the problem is their religion. No further exploration into the issues that conflict with that religion, just the Muslim religion. When a Christian goes off, there is always some sub-context, some other reason, and not their bat#### crazy belief in some insane interpretation of a religious text. The Christian has some mental deficiency, not brainwashed into believing a whole bunch of #### from their fairy tale book. But the Muslim is broken and the problem is their belief in their religion. Never an exploration into other possible issues, which I think its the greatest tragedy. I just wish the same critical inquiry were applied to all violent acts. If it were, we would likely have a much better understanding of the issues and be able to expect better things from our leaders.
