Quite true. And please let's not forget that Nazi Germany was a WHITE CHRISTIAN

Oh yes they are. And many of them are putting pressure on the gov't to stop it. And if it's just about the location, as many of the protesters say, why are Mosques in Tennessee and other states being protested? Hell, the one in Tennessee was just burned down. Why are there Q'uran burnings? How far away is far enough? It's being labeled as the "ground zero" Mosque even though it's a full 2 blocks (and NYC blocks at that) away from 'ground zero'.
And sorry, Christianity isn't so peaceful itself. Crusades? Inquisition? Abortion clinic bombings? Doctor killings? The Murrah building in Oklahoma City? Now we've got Q'uran burning and Mosque destruction.

Very well said.
BuzzKill:
Well, I've not seen anyone arguing they don't have the right to build. Not one person. In fact, over and over even the more strident critics explain they have the right - but that they are lying about their intent b/c if they really wanted to increase inter-faith tolerance and understanding they'd definitely not build there, and/or other faiths would also be welcome in their massive building. They are fanning the flames of pain and outrage and they know this.
And of course other faiths have been militaristic and violent but nothing in modern history compares with Islam; Its not even a close contest. And with regard to the blood shed by the RCC, they were acting in direct opposition to Christ's teaching, or that of any of the apostles or even Paul.
Not so with regard to the koran and it's faithful. They are commanded to murder and to lie and to brutalize.
BuzzKill:
Hitler and the SS were practicing ancient Germanic paganism. They were quit hostile to biblical Christianity and there are SS documents indicating the church was next in line for annihilation and that Germany was allied in this goal, as with the goal to destroy the Jews, by the Islamic nations.
