I have yet to see a Pentacostal strap their kids with explosive devices and go blow up a shopping mall. The worst you see is some nutburger shooting up an abortion clinic every few years. Even when that happens, there aren't churches shooting guns in the air and paying the families of the shooters, or making them saints. Those people get castigated and repudiated by the churches. When was the last time you saw Ahmadinijad condemn a suicide bomber? This kind of moral equivocation is the kind that lead to ignoring the warnings before 9/11 and that allowed every evil dictator in the world to come to power. Evil happens when good people refuse to recognize it and do nothing when they see it.
