My comparison is perfectly valid. Christians face vile discrimination in Muslim countries. The Islamists are attacking Western targets. If you held Westerners to the same standards, you'd be more "understanding" of the reasons why cultural and/or religious Christians/Jews commit attacks. But no, there is an expectation that these people should be rational, and that it's okay for non Westerners to be less rational because, hey, what can you expect?

This is the problem with many Americans. They dont ask WHY? They dont try to dig deeper.... its always the media that tells them what they should know.....thats how brainwashing works... and thats how millions and millions voted for someone like Bush You need to work your brain and become more sophisticated.
I was wondering when you'd bring up this idiocy. "Anyone who disagrees with me is brainwashed and unsophisticated! I know this because they voted in a way with which I disagree and they won't accept my word as gospel!"

That's just insulting and it's not even a real argument. Do you really think that will change someone's mind? Nice baiting there.
