There are just as many extremists in Christianity as there are nut job Muslims, or any other religion really. If you think otherwise, you are short-sighted, plain and simple. I don't agree with shoju on much but indeed, the connect here isn't the religion itself, but the dominating culture of each nation. I just wish people would get over these silly divisions and realize who their true oppressors are. Working class Muslims need to realize they have the same class interests as Christian working class people do, and vice versa.
Anyways, glad I'm an atheist. Because personally, I think ALL organized religion sucks and is just an excuse for people to not have to think at all. Science and education for the win. I let reason and rationality rule my world, not superstition and mythology based on the will of some invisible authoritarian sky wizard that doesn't exist.
Just a nit, but German Americans are the most marginalized culture in the US. No other culture is more ashamed of what has happened in their past then those of German descent living in America.
