NAE President Leith Anderson issued a statement Wednesday asking Muslims not to judge "all Christians by the behavior of one extremist. One person with 30 silent followers does not speak for 300 million Americans who will never burn a Koran."Something about "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" or "do not do unto others that which is hateful to you" comes to mind, but I gather that the Koran-burners must have skipped over that part of the New Testament.
Given that there are no shortage of mouth-breathers in this country who judge all Muslims by the actions of Muslim extremists, the NAE might as well have saved its breath. People around the world, including in Muslim nations, held public rallies in support of the US after the Twin Towers fell, but you'd never know it from the hysterical bleatings of the Wingnuts, who have been eagerly tarring all Muslims ever since. Why, then, should Muslims be more forgiving than Christians?
The Muslim bashers skip over quite a few verses--assuming they've even opened the book, that is.
