I just don't see a difference in them and Christian fundamentalists. The only reason we don't see Christian fundamentalists burning people at the stake is because we have a stronger government and civilization that has evolved. If our government was as weak as these Islamic countries, we'd be seeing a lot of crazy shit going on.
I agree that Islam is dangerous, but I believe the same can be said about all religions. It was a Christian who chose to bomb the crap out of Iraq and killed hundreds of thousands of people. A Christian who felt it was what God wanted. Sure it's more sophisticated than blowing yourself up on a bus, but is it really that much different?
