The Islamic terrorists not only kill anybody they want, they actually recruit and use children to perform jihad - which is about the most cowardly act an adult can commit for a cause.

Kidnapping innocent people, and beheading them, is another favorite of their's.

The belief system of Islam is insane, and as dangerous, sick and degenerate Christianity is, it's not nearly as deadly and backwards in this day and age as Islam.
Psychocat has a point...you're right about how it's probably usually an accident, and it may even be viewed as a tragedy, but not ENOUGH of a tragedy. The children seem to just get shrugged off as collateral damage. And regardless of whether or not the killing is intentional, the point is that far too many innocent people die because of the fighting. Just how many of the Muslims who die do you think are bloodthirsty terrorists, and how many do you think are just people wanting to living a quiet life with their family? It's probably a pretty unbalanced ratio.

I agree with you that, with the present arrangement, Islam is the more irrational faith (by a hair). But let's say it was the other way around, that the Muslims kept Christian lands in a vice grip and have for the last 60 or so years? You'd see some Christian terrorist organizations, that's for sure, striking the foreign oppressors in the name of God.
