...When we ask moderate Muslims to distance themselves from the radical Muslims. Maybe this is an issue that Christians should settle amongst themselves. If you allow the fundies to establish their beliefs as the foremost face of Christianity, how else do you expect people to view Christianity in general?

You said:

"My point was you never see liberals bashing Buddhists, Hindus, Wiccans, Atheists, etc., but you do see us bashing Christianity."

My point is that the Buddhists, Hindus, Wiccans, etc. have not allowed their most radical members to shape the public persona of their religion and attack the American constitution, therefore, no one bothers to attack Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. Now, I am playing the devil's advocate (pardon the expression) a bit here -- but at what point do more "moderate" Christians have a responsiblity to make their voices heard and reign in their wayward brothers in Christ?? See my point?
