I can't even start to discuss it with people who label all Muslims that way. They are just parroting what Fox News told them, don't know a Koran from a carrot, and never met a Muslim, but they know this for sure.

" ... don't know a Koran from a carrot ..." Great phrase.

But seriously, the Ku Klux Klan and the Aryan Nations consider themselves to be Christians. As an experiment, I just did a Google news search looking for the phrases "Ku Klux Klan" and "Christians" in the same story, because Klansmen-as well as members of the Aryan Nations-consider themselves Christians. Of course, I found no matches, athough I have to admit I only checked between a half-dozen and a dozen stories.

But then I came to a piece by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in Time magazine. Here's how it starts:

When the Ku Klux Klan burns a cross in a black family’s yard, Christians aren’t required to explain how these aren’t really Christian acts.

Here's a link to the piece:

Interesting piece run in the St Pete Times over the weekend from the NY Times pointed out the fact that the Koran does not contain the words "blasphemy" or "blasphemer". Anywhere. So all the irate individuals engaging in "jihad" to punish the "blasphemy" for being so offensive to Mohammed...Seems they all need a lesson in true Islam.

Right on. The Muslim man in Paris who hid potential victims in the Jewish deli freezer (which he unplugged) was a true follower of Islam. The terrorists? Not so much. Not at all, in fact.
