Being improperly handled by police? Government impeding on your rights? The ACLU would be your first choice to help you and they would do it without hesitation.
You responded exactly the way I expected you would. You try to deflect my arguments because you can't counter me directly. I don't even know why I waste my time, but I will anyway.
First of all, your claim regarding the ACLU is patent bullshit. As a matter in fact, I have a friend who's church was forced to remove it's cross as part of legal action by the ACLU. Why? Because the cross was visible from the highway. Ironically, less than a mile away there's a giant billboard advertising a porn shop.
If someone were to complain about the advertisement they'd be considered a prude and would be told to look away. But I guess not being able to deal with a cross is another story. I can enjoy a bit of porn as well as the next guy but no matter how you look at it, that's bullshit.

People do not want to undermine Christianity. No one has claimed to do so. No one is calling Christianity evil or 'lame'. And certainly no one is defending Islamic terrorism.
...And yes, Christian fundamentalism is just as bad as Islamic fundamentalism...
I don't know what you're talking about, but clearly you've completely misinterpreted my point.

So, let me get this straight... What you mean is that a bible thumper going to your house and insisting you pray for Jesus to save you is the same thing as a terrorist yanking your head back and slitting your throat because you're an infidel. A group of Christian convervatives demonstrating against something they oppose is the same as a group of terrorists chant "praise allah" while the victim tries to scream from pain instead gagging on his own blood. Let's not even get into the kinds of incidents like that one in Russia where muslim terrorists shot fleeing school children in the back.
But sure, if you insist, it's EXACTLY the same thing.
