US ambassador killed over a film

You missed the point man.

No, I didn't.

I linked to Steve Klein, because I think this group is more responsible. Is Klein a Copt? No.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula was the film maker, but he doesn't represent Coptic Christians. He may be one, and by his criminal past, not a very good one. Does it matter that Breivik was a Lutheran? Not really. It's the hate part that should be emphasized here. Being a Copt doesn't make him an extremist anti-Islamic radical -- hanging out with Steve Klein did that.

So, when we, or Huffy post exclaim "Egyptian Coptic Chistians" do a horrible thing, we denigrate Egyptian and California Coptic Christians and put them at risk of reprisals. It exacerbates the problems.

This is a right wing, Christian militia, anti-Islamic extremist bunch of crap. These groups are in the twisted fringe, as are the Islamic fundamentalist extremists. So, let's not get sucked into the propaganda war between Christian and Islamic extremists, and inadvertently help them with their hate mongering, eh?

Really? So... What you are telling me, is that Being a Coptic Christian FROM EGYPT in no way shape or form influenced his decisions? That is was all "hanging with someone else?"

I'm not blaming his Coptic Christian heritage. I NEVER said that "All Coptic Christians" do these things. Just like I never argued that Breivik represented ALL Lutherans.

But I will say, that his Coptic Christian Roots, given the right nudge, moved him into an extremist category.

I think you are confusing me with Ashock or something. I was the one arguing that even Christianity has it's religious extremist zealots who will go to extremes.

I'm not Anti-Christian. I'm not Anti-Muslim. I'm not Anti-Hindu. I'm not Anti-Buddhist. I'm Anti-Extremist, and maybe even a little Anti-Fundamentalism.

But to paint my remarks as being Anti-Christian and bigoted misses what I'm saying completely. In a thread where I've argued that there ARE Christian Extremists, and then I point out, that the man who made this, is in fact a Christian Extremist, is not bigoted.
