But, yes, anyway - you point out that "Fundamentalist Imams" preach hatred whereas "Rabbis and Priests" do not. This is an obviously unfair comparison. Non-fundamentalist Imams do not preach hate, and there are Fundamentalist Priests, preachers and certainly Rabbis who absolutely and unquestionably DO preach hatred and violence. There are several well documented Fundamentalist Jewish Rabbis in Israel whose entire motivation is to convert young Jews into armed thugs. There are several hate-preaching Christian churches that plague every American state. You can't possibly deny this, you can't possibly state with such certainty that "Rabbis, Priests and Vicars do not preach hatred or violence". It's not just incorrect, it's a bare-faced lie.

I won't even deny that there are probably a greater number of Fundamentalist Islamic preachers than either of the others or that it's a more widespread issue, but what you are doing is implying that "most" Islamic preachers are hateful and - unfathomably - that there are ZERO Jewish or Christian preachers preaching anything negative.

In answer to your ridiculous and presumptuous claims which I have emboldened, I am not implying anything of the sort. Do not 'twist' my statements which are in print for all to see. If I had meant that "most" Islamic preachers are hateful I would have stated as much, and if I had meant that there are ZERO Jewish or Christian preachers preaching anything negative, I would have stated as much.

As for your other claims, I welcome you expounding upon them with suitable corroborating evidence.
