Religious Terrorism: Why a Christian al-Qaida doesn’t exist - by Michael Brown

There is no question that professing Christians have committed atrocities in the past, most notably during the Crusades and Inquisition, but in doing so, they fundamentally violated both the teaching and example of Jesus. In contrast, professing Muslims who are committing atrocities around the world can find ample justification for their behavior in both the teaching and example of Muhammad.

In contrast, Islam has a plethora of such groups, from Hamas in Gaza to Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria, from the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan to al-Qaida worldwide, and from the ruling Muslim majorities in Iran and Sudan to the followers of fundamentalist Muslim preachers in American and the U.K.

And in the most conservative Islamic countries, a deadly riot could be set off by the mere accusation that Muhammad had been blasphemed or the Quran defaced. There are no parallels to this in any Christian-based country in the world.
