Not only are they having to reach, but they aren't pulling much back when they do. Look at the international and national headlines over the last ten years. Of all the terrorist attacks around the world, what percentage of them were carried out by Christians?

My only gripe with that statement is that it is a gross understatement.

The reality is, is that Christians (with a minute amount of relatively irrelevent exceptions) stopped all the bloodthirsty behavior centuries ago. Muslims haven't reformed yet.
