When Rosie O’Donnell said “radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like the United States,” she generated a lot of controversy. Various segments of the population – especially those who are conservative Christians – had a strong reaction to her words. To learn how Americans react to a television personality challenging the nation’s most widespread faith, read the latest Barna Update.

I would like to comment on those words spoken by Ms. O'Donnell. These words were likely spoken out of hate and based on the images that the dinosaur media projects about Evangelical Christians. Statements like these from celebrities are generally shallow and based on no foundation of truth.
If Rosie O'Donnell were to really dig deep and read both the Bible and the Koran she would she a huge contrast in ideologies. The bible does have it's share of wars and violence but all to make the point about Jesus and His perfection and saving grace and the fallibility of man. Jesus never commanded Christians to kill others if they didn't believe instead the bible says that "the truth will set us free." And Jesus said He is the Way the Truth and the Life.
Ms. O'Donnell, the bible also says that someday every knee will bow and tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. Maybe you should use your tongue to confess this today instead of bad mouthing something you know nothing about.
