Unsettling indeed. Unfortunately, it is the actions of a few extremists that give entire religions a bad name. This doesn't improve my opinion of Islam. At the least extremist Christians haven't firebombed any publishers. Right??

No, just women's clinics.

No, but fundamentalist Christians here have assassinated doctors...set off bombs at the Olympics...And those acts do not really reflect most Christians even those who have views that might be extreme.
