Did someone tell you Bible is just a book written by a bunch of guys living in a desert?
Nobody had to tell me, I already know and frankly, I care about the bible as much as I care about Star War. But however I can make a difference between a religion and a movie. And you?
So a terrorist screaming Allah Akbar is your proof? Yes, that 'powned' smily was in place
And would the Crusades be proof that Christianity is a violent religion? How about the Spanish Inquisition, or the Salem Witch Trials? A lot of horrible things were done in the name of Christianity too, you know.

the main difference between the muslim terrorists and the christian... uhhm... actions is that they were mostly aproved by the pope or another high religious figure. not by a few random idiots who use the koran for their own purposes.

Eh, yeah, I know that, and I've posted that same remark a couple of times? Now, what is the connection with my post and this one?
"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

A pope gets to approve if some thing is terrorism or not?
The Crusade argument is a load of PC rubbish... in many an occasion the Christian crusaders and their masters were more intent on plundering Byzantium. And the whole Us V them mentality is proved utterly wrong by the example of Venice. The Pope gathered a coalition of some significant European powers to curb and reduce the influence of Venice which was a principle military and commercial asset AGAINST the Turks.
Obviously some Xians hated the Muslims... just as some muslims now hate Xians but that doesn't justify calling a whole faith violent.
To do that you need to analyse the scripture and customs respective of each faith.
