You must be reading from the Dick Durbin Book of Analogies. You either have a distorted view of what 'Bible Thumpers' are and what their goals are, or you have a very distorted view of what Bin Laden is doing. I'm not quite sure what you would consider 'forcing views upon', but I can assure you it is nothing like what Bin Laden and Islamic terrorists are doing. They are killing people who do not practice Islam. I wonder what your world is like if you equate someone ringing your doorbell with a couple religious words with killing you if you don't practice their faith.




The only distortion is your twisting of what I said, so you could go off on a rant. While you've been doing so, I've responded to everyone else to stay on topic.
Yes there are radical Christians who take it upon themselves to FORCE their views onto everyone else one way or another. The abortion clinic attacks are apt for this example.
That is exactly like OBL, he kills because people don't share his views, and he'll MAKE you or die trying.

You imply that OBL is the head of the Islamic faith, and since you're so "worldly", I can see why you think that. OBL doesn't kill people simply because they don't practice Islam as you said. He kills them because he hates the West and found a loop hole in the Koran to oust any non-Muslims from the holy peninsula of Saudi Arabia.

Edit:
Just because one is able to interpret a holy book to do evil, doesn't in turn make that religion evil. The bible has been used in perverted ways as well by extremists, so you can't just blame Islam. Look at the Aryan Nation, that's a "christian church". But, it doesn't encompass all of Jesus' followers.... does it?
