... between Christian and Islamic fanaticism is that in the U.S., Christians enjoy a better standard of living and thus have more to lose than their Moslem counterparts. That's why you don't hear about Christian suicide bombers ... at least not yet.

But as a gay man, I know very well how insidious the impact of Christian fanaticism is in this country. How many gay-bashers will justify their actions because somewhere along the line they've been told "God hates fags" and that homosexuality is an "abomination"? Christian fanatics lack the balls to attack anyone directly. Instead they stir up hate and when someone lashes out at a gay person ... or a Jew, or a Moslem, or a family planning clinic, etc., etc. ... they retreat and say, "Oh we never encouraged THAT! We believe in loving the sinner even if we hate the sin."
