Common mistake Harrak

Dear Harrak,

I'm sorry to inform you but you make the mistake that most muslims make when viewing persons from the West. You make the erroneous assumption that if someone is from the West they HAVE to be Christian. This is blantantly not true.

I believe this happens because muslims, not all, come from the mindset that the West is Christian. The "West" has many religions. Also, there is no separation of Church and State unlike Islam and so the ability to conceive that someone from the West would not be Christian is difficult.

I would also add that their is NOTHING in the teachings of Jesus Christ that support, defend, not justify the actions of these two murderers. Unfortunately, I cannot say that of Islam's founder. I believe one telling quote from him is "I have become victorious through terror."
