Nothing like proving the point-

I did not say any of that- but in modern times there is NO other religion that reacts with so much violence and mob action when confronted by what they deem an insult.

Christians (as much as people might deride them) do not rise up and burn people in effigy and demand their deaths- nor do Catholics, Baptists or other large religious groups.

This is NOT just fringe-

How do people live in a world of moral relativism?

If 1.2 billion or so muslims were rioting, I think we'd know about it.

It may be one of the most well organized extremist movements currently (having surpassed the IRA, for example), but it remains an extremist movement.

Except for that pesky little Crusade thingy.

As a Pagan, I have a real hard time with that statement. Even to this day, Pagans are ostacized wholesale by a vast majority of Christians. There may not be actual burning at the stake going on, but the effects can be just as powerful.

I said -

You are pulling out something ancient in order to take offense at my words.

I'm sorry- but I don't think being ostracized is the same as being beheaded or gutted in the street by a Muslim extremist who is mad that you drew a picture of his god or made a movie he did not like.
