Everything you mentioned in C is something totally twisted and isnt actually Christianity. You know that. I know that. Lets not even go there.

I'm a Catholic. I don't go around slaughtering Jewish people or bombing abortion clinics, and I don't know any other Catholics who do. Similarly, the average Muslim doesn't go around beating women or flying airliners into skyscrapers, or condone such behaviour. Islam is not a "sick and twisted religion" any more than Christianity - it's just the extremist lunatics on the margins who perpetrate atrocities and disgrace their respective faiths. Both religions revolve around love, peace, respect, and social justice, and a closer study of the Bible and the Qur'an will reveal that they actually share a lot of common ground. I understand where you're coming from, but remember - never critique a religion based on what Rupert Murdoch tells you! :D ;)
