Okay, now that we've established the atrocities perpetrated by the official church, (And your response that they haven't done anything really bad "lately") let's talk about fringe groups that use religion as their justification (essentially what al-queda is). The KKK has killed between 2000 and 4000 people over the last 90 years. So if we're condemning religions for their fringe groups, christianity doesn't have a leg to stand on there either... Muslims around the world, and here in the U.S. have done their due dilligence in condemning these atrocities, they are not responsible for al-queda, or the taliban. Muslims can't be blamed for these groups any more than christians can be blamed for the KKK.
