I don't even know what to think of this. It makes me disappointed as a Christian. I know it's old news but what do you guys think? I only know about this incident from the article below. If you can provide additional details, feel free to share.

It happened like twenty six years ago. I don't know if there is a whole lot to say. Some people do horrible things in the name of their religion, and Christianity is very far from immune to that sort of behavior.

REJECTED!

True.  Just about every religion has some negative examples to it in its followers.  The Crusades were probably the worst in terms of Catholicism/Christianity.

 

I actually remember that incident in Paris, not by much, though.  It was a little bit before my 6th birthday, I believe.  My mother talked with me and my sisters about what had happened because we saw a news broadcast and had lots of questions.  (Well, mostly my older sister, because she had a better understanding of what was going on).  As I recall, my mom used it as a chance to explain this very point: that while something may be anti-Christian, we as Christians are not called to act out in violence.  She compared it to when Jesus was getting arrested in the garden, and Simon Peter attempted to defend Him.  She said that Jesus' disapproval is not different than when radicals like those guys "defend" the faith with violent methods.
