There Are Big Differences
Reader comment on item: Calling Islamism the Enemy
in response to reader comment: White people
Submitted by AnneM (United States), Jul 22, 2006 at 09:19
The truth is that Islamism does preach hate and violence against non-Muslims. What is called "Judeo-Christian evangelical fascism" is simply people of both Jewish and Christian faiths being called to live in full the call of the Bible to live out this special calling to love God, the Holy Bible, and neighbor, period. It never calls for violence against one's neighbor. In other words, there are big differences.
