Okay, now to finish off the quiz....Do you tire of 'indiscriminateness' and moral equivalency between Americans (esp. conservatives or Christians) and Muslim extremists? Really, who in their right mind could compare our treatment of war prisoners with how Al Qaeda treats captives? Would you rather have someone's underwear on your head or get a spike jabbed through your hand? Would you rather be separated from your holy scripture and preferred foods or watch your loved ones get raped and tortured until practically dead?
And here's one for my little sister: Would you rather have a Wal-Mart in your neighborhood or get your head slowly sliced off in the name of Allah? She never would answer me, but has waxed on about the terrible, oppressive culture of Wal-Mart. And those terrorists... well, that's just their religion, I should be tolerant of their beliefs and practices. (I love my sister dearly, I just don't understand her thinking!)
It's almost funny until you realize that such over-tolerance is widespread to the point of putting us in danger more than necessary.
Anyway, here are the last few quiz answers.
4. Many Dutch are fleeing to Australia, Canada and New Zealand these days because:
a. They are sick of all those dang tulips and cheeses.
b. The weed is better there.
c. Lots of third world immigrants are moving to Holland and well, they just smell funny!
d. Muslim presence and influence is growing to the point where it is no longer that safe for non-Muslims (i.e. Theo van Gogh) to go out in public.
e. Those countries still have a few prostitutes left who don’t have venereal diseases.
YEP, YOU GUESSED IT -- D. Tolerance of the intolerant in practice!

5. How many U.S. deaths attributed to anti-abortion terrorist acts have occurred since 1977?
a. 0
b. 7
c. 23
d. 155
e. 1,466
Answer: B
THE SOURCE I FOUND LISTED 7 ACTUAL DEATHS. So when people bring up the 'fact' that Christians are just as violent, maybe worse, well, where is that data? One lib even told me that Christians are taking over the world right now, anyway. Hmmm... even if that were true, aren't these just nice little missionaries bringing Bibles to others, helping those in need? Have any Christians in the last century killed those who did not convert?
OK, bring up the Crusades... you can say that, first off, the Christians/Europeans were just fighting back Muslim conquest of their lands. OR, that some European rulers used Christianity as a uniting force to get warlike, but were not necessarily following Christianity as practiced by the common folk.
And as far as Bosnia, etc -- I don't have enough info on that, anyone else? All I know is that Christian Americans are not commonly genocidal.
