Extreme right wing Christians are dangerous, just not nearly as dangerous as Muslim fanatics AT THIS POINT in history.
Absolutely true. Notice no one on my side of this has any need to cover for or dispute the obvious. Of course there are extreme rightwing Christians that are dangerous nutjobs- just virtually NO ONE among normal Christians or the secular, feels any need to apologize for them. If *ANYWHERE NEAR* the same percentage of Christians were backward in their thinking in outward dangerous ways incompatible with the modern western world as is the case in the Islamic world- THEN there'd be cause for major concern over radical Christians. At best, most of them are annoying but harmless, street-corner Bible-thumper types. At worst, they're terrorists who commit mass killings and blow up abortion centers and such.
But to pretend the later type is anywhere near as prevalent (and in any way ACCEPTED BY the mainstream) as their counterparts in the Islamic world, is just to deny reality.
I do not have a lot of confidence in Christian fundamentalists staying RELATIVELY non-violent as they witness first hand their religion completely and utterly demolished piece by piece and they become increasingly marginalized.
I don't know about that. One trait of modern westerners both good and terrible, is that most really are passive to real threats against them. (It's 'good' only in the sense that most people are harmless and non-violent).
So even if Islam were overrunning the entire world the way many in the Islamic world dream of it doing, most westerners I believe would actually do NOTHING about it. Even most Christians.
Not until made to bow before Allah would most people even acknowledge a real threat to their peaceful, secular lives, and even THEN I believe so many people being at their core, complete cowards, would simply make excuses for it, and cast anyone who didn't bow to the new god as 'racist' etc. etc.
Sad as that is, I believe it's an absolute FACT. It's the same as MOST people in countries like say France, didn't actually join the resistance against Nazis coming in and taking over, imposing an evil regime on them. FACT: MOST went right along with it.
