Young Earthers are no different than radical Islamic terrorist, except for the killing of infidels thing.

Someone following their version of the beliefs to the letter and saying the earth is 5000 y.o. is waaaayyy different than following a religion to walk into a cafe with a bomb strapped to your chest. If you don't see the difference then you can't be reasoned with and are much closer to those types than you wish to accept.

They are both considered crazy by 99.9% of the population.

They are both considered crazy by 99.9% of the population. Actions on belief makes one a radical. Believing in a y.e. is simply that, a believer. Acting or giving aid to a suicide bomber (just one example) makes one a radical. Thinking you don't like, say, Israel, does not.I don't consider them (y.e.'s) crazy, and neither should you. They have a different set of beliefs that's not hurting me or you. Don't be intolerant.
