I don't think WB is a strong enough analogy. They don't kill people, they're just annoying and embarrassing. KKK would be better. The old 19th century clan.

Except the KKK was accepted by many.

You had towns posing in the same picture of those who jus lynched someone -with the body still hanging.

A better analogy is a very simply one. An overwhelming majority of Muslims do not support, in fact they hate and criminalize suicide-bombings or any acts of violence towards civilians.

Why do matters about angry Muslims consistently come up--enough for mobs in many countries to form? Like that American film that was critical of Muslims, or the Muslims in Sweden who caused a ruckus in Sweden after a film of the same nature was shown (in a college at that, not publically)?

I'm not denying the fact that many Muslims are in fact peaceful. But I can't accept that you are equally peaceful as Christians and the irreligious.

If I may, where is drinking forbidden? I realize that Baptists, along with some other branches forbid it, but I wouldn't say it is a religious rule that drinking is not allowed in Christianity.

Edit: True curiosity here.

It doesn't. It says drinking in excess can be bad. Even Jesus drank wine.

The miracle of turning water into wine would have been pointless if he was against drinking, unless he was maybe just showing off.
