Basically, Hitler preached a form of Christianity that fit his views- mostly, changing Jesus to be white. Based on the wiki article, the conclusion I draw is that Hitler used Christianity- the all but universal religion in Europe at the time- as a method of drawing followers. He himself was by no means a follower.

OK then yeah in that case the Hitler -> Christianity and terrorism -> Islam correlation is more appropriate than I thought. I was under the impression that Hitler tossed out religion entirely but it's not like I researched it or anything.

I still say it's kind of weird that I'm not offended at all by it; I guess it's because I'm not living in a country where I'm automatically categorized as a Nazi because of my physical features and religion, whereas many Islamic Americans are having to deal with this problem. Racism is stupid.

Racism is stupid. At the same time though, the moderate Muslims in the world need to do a better job of coming out and showing that extremists do not really portray what Islam is. For instance, say you worked at a well-known business. A person in a prominant management position comes out and makes public racist remarks. When this happens, your company does nothing to distance itself from those remarks. What will happen? Clearly everyone will assume that those remarks represent your company's views. These public extremists are doing the same thing to Islam, and the Islamic community needs to do a better job of stepping up and showing that this isn't their view.

lol, Ohioans.

I could see the owners of the dealership I work at doing something like that.

Owners of car dealerships don't seem to care who they're offending, just as long as they get a few sales.
