Hmm, I don't see "celebrate" anywhere in your quotes. But what is the point exactly? You want to prove that there are Christian extremists? Well, of course, so?
@Solace: I never contest that religious radicalism exists in all religions. However, if one particular religion constantly has their devotees committed wanton acts against us, we should raise a red flag toward that religion. Furthermore, I refuse to believe that those radicals can sustain themselves without constantly and quite easily being able to recruit the more moderate ones who exist in much much larger numbers. This is the main problem, imo.
Keeping that in mind, this war on terror is going nowhere with the way we fought it now. Like you've said, there are basically 2 ways to fight this: eliminating the cause by getting the heck out of the Middle East and scaling down our empire, which is unacceptable, and trying to suppress the symptoms by, uhm... dealing with the imminent causes.
