Coming from Muslims or not (and I'm sure you know all of them) Brooks' comment is horrendous. I am a Lutheran (as far from the far right loonies as you can get). It is disheartening how Brooks comments (and the thinking of the far right Christians) denigrate the Christian religion. Acceptance, love, treat others they way you want to be treated... all that stuff, is lost in the verbage Brooks and his fellow right wing Christians use and live by.
