Radical Christianity vs. Radical Islam

Finally,  Bill Maher got something right.  Following the Boston bombings, Maher  responded to Brian Levy, the director of the Center for the Study of  Hate & Extremism at California State University in San Bernardino (a  great example of needed reforms in public higher education), "[T]here's  only one faith, for example, that kills you or wants to kill you if you  draw a bad cartoon of the prophet.  There's only one faith that kills  you or wants to kill you if you renounce the faith."

There  you have it.  Even a flaming atheist can recognize the difference  between a religion of peace and one full of bloodlust.  The Tsarnaevs  are just the most recent example of the tragic bitter fruit produced by radical Islamists.  To further Maher's point, consider and  contrast the efforts of radical Islamists with those of radical  Christians.


Just what is a "radical Christian"?  Some might call them (with apologies to DC Talk)  "Jesus Freaks." Examples are all around us, and most are virtually  unknown outside their home towns (mainly because they don't make the  news by killing people).  They plant churches, feed the poor, heal the  sick; they open orphanages and pregnancy resource centers; they visit  prisoners and deliver the oppressed; in other words, they have sold  themselves out to be the hands and feet of the One they worship.
