re - abortion clinics, yes you're right. There are extreme radical idiots who are part of anything. But as you also mention, the number/volume of muslims whom take part in these violent acts is far far greater. It's actually quite scary really.
What it boils down to on my part is that I just can't get my head around being that caught up in anything to want to kill for it. Except of course if my family were threatened. Both things you've already mentioned.....

I agree, I'd rather see a war of words in virtually any scenario and the example above was certainly a stretch in regards to violence no doubt. But not to the feelings that someone's religion can hold on them.
Like you, I'm not an advocate of violence. I'm sure there are times it's necessary but I don't see it anywhere related to this thread. Which could very well all boil down to my own fundamental disbelief of religion. I find myself daily moving from the agnostic side (not necessarily the actual definition, but the HOPE that there's a god) to the athiest side, if for no other reason than what man has turned "god" INTO.
All of that being said, as much as I'm a non-believer or anti-violence or whatever, I absolutely refuse to be someone who tells people what they should believe in and said feelings of.
How they ACT, I will respectfully reserve the right to judge.
