Flame of the West
I too oppose Christian fundamentalists chopping off people's hands and practicing polygamy. Haven't actually heard of it happening, tho. Until I do, it's rather ridiculous to compare conservative Protestantism with bloodthirsty Islamic terrorism.

I'd say that the hatred, bigotry, general intolerance and narrow mindedness is pretty much the same - and that - in my eyes - puts them in the same category far more than the use of weapons puts terrorists in the same category as the national armies of e.g. the NATO countries.

So I don't really care whether Christian fundamentalists chop of heads or whatever - they exercise a psychological violence that is - IMO - far worse than physical violence (not mentioning actual physical assaults and other terrorist acts such as attacking medical doctors practising abortion etc.)
