*shrug* I call any religious wacko a wacko, regardless of which religion they're a member of. I've seen plenty of christian wackos, just as I've seen plenty of muslim wackos, buddhist wackos, hindu wackos, pagan wackos, satanist wackos (laveyan. Still haven't met a satan-worshipper.), new age wackos, wiccan wackos... members of pretty much every religion I've met members of, really.
"Aren;t we all labelled as wackos for believing in Jesus...????"
Yes, yes you are.
"Devil knows who Jesus is..."
Good for him. Yippey, Skippey. I've heard of this Jesus bloak, too.
"you never hear muslims labelled wackos..."
Well, hear it from me now - Muslims are wackos, but no more really than Xians and Jews. I think all religious persons are wacky.
Do 4 question marks mean that Shaloma is 4 times as curious as I am?
>>you never hear muslims labelled wackos.....why only Christians?<<
I'm thinking it works like this:
1) Shaloma often acts like a wacko.
2) This is often pointed out.
3) Shaloma then wonders why, when s/he is being a wacko, nobody responds with "Boy, muslims sure are crazy."
Yeah, because NO ONE ever talks about MUSLIMS having whacked-out beliefs. NO ONE. (To be fair, Shaloma's profile indicates that she's Canadian, and I don't know what treatment Muslims receive there. But in the U.S. at least, and my impression is that in parts of Europe, Muslims do come under ridicule, especially from the more conservative side of the population.)

Premise disproved.
Of course, while Googling this stuff I hit more than a few pages like this:

Sigh ... damn Christian wackos.
Dear Shaloma,
Christians are not persecuted. It is only fundamentalist Christians who think they are because any opposition to their narrow ideology can only come from the intollerant. I have always found it interesting that it is the fundamentalist community that screams the most about how evil and twisted Islam is and calls for a crusade to end it. (See the comments of the the High Priest: Pat Robertson, and those of his chief acolyte: Jerry Falwell)

Huh. Christians still have more "wackos," on Google, though.
Of course you don't hear people label muslims as wackos, simply because you don't want to. Christians call muslims wackos, and even worse, not to mention christians labeling any religion other than their own in much worse terms than wacko.
What in the hell are you talking about? Conservative christians and others label Muslims as nutjobs all the fucking time. The sad part is, most Muslims are more sensible than most christians. I'm not defending all Muslims, just like I won't put down all christians, that's just my opinion. But the plain fact is, you guys, Jews, and many others don't shut up about how evil ALL Muslims are.
Confused?
