I see your jihad, and raise you a crusade

Having been made aware of Pastor Terry Jones' (Not to be confused with the Monty Python member) plan to host a burn a quran day on saturday (Not coincidentally, the 11th of September). I can't help but wonder, are the lines between extremist islam and christianity bluring? Both did at one point war against each other. Taking territory from the other in a series of crusades and jihads, I can't help but wonder if the so called "war on terror" is quickly devolving into another of these acts of violence. It has been revealed that the american army has been using weapons inscribed with serial codes referencing biblical scriptures. Already one side is convinced this is a holy war that their creator has ordained. I worry when the other side see it as so. And when this happens, what of the rest of us? The non muslims, the non christians? Already I associate myself with their combined adversary. Ironically, the one they beleive the other to be. Are we satanists, atheists, pagans, buddists, jews etc to be trampled by the boots of "God's" soldiers? Cross or cresent, the end result will be the same. Convert or die.

Maybe 2012 will be the end of the world, but I do not beleive it will be God who brings it about, but 2 groups of his followers.
