Christians + Muslims: Are you proud of your religions today?

Today a Muslim mob in Afghanistan attacked a UN compound and murdered 11 people because a Christian preacher in Florida reportedly burned a Qur'an.

Do any of you really think either religion comes out of this looking anything other than dreadful?

Update:

@Joel: You seem to be under the impression that the guy in Florida is the only Christian burning or threatening to burn Qur'ans and that the attack in Afghanistan is a one off.

You are wrong on both counts.

    I profess to be neither.

    However, this is not surprising to me since their "God/Gods" were all rather violent.

    You really shouldn't ask questions like these. One Christian isn't responsible for representing his entire religion and neither is one group of Muslims. Be a little understanding that there are crazy people in the world, and they were crazy before they were religious, not because of it.

    Correlation doesn't equal causation.

  • It's pretty easy to point out the bad in any group, and then generalize the whole lot. That doesn't mean it is correct - or an intelligent thing to do.

    I AM proud of many things that my religion does in this world today. Of course there are things that people do in the name of my religion that I am not proud of.

    One individual of a group is bad

    Therefore:

    The group is bad
