Ibrahim Hooper, who heads the Council on American Islamic Relations, says American evangelical Christians who've criticized Islam "have the same mentality as bin Laden." In an interview with radio host Steve Malzberg, Hooper accused Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and Franklin Graham of trying to incite an "unending civilizational conflict." And there's more:

When Mr. Malzberg asked whether the Christian leaders would kill Muslims as bin Laden urges Muslims to kill Jews and Christians, Mr. Hooper said: "Given the right circumstance, these guys would do the same in the opposite direction."

Sure, and if pigs had wings, Islamic fanatics would fly them into buildings.
