“PSAT” question

Ah-ha!! Someone got it. How strange that its a Australian? Nice job, Joel!

Islamic extremists are to Islam
as
the Ku Klux Klan is to Christianity.

If you think know, leave a note with your guess. I’ll put the guesses below until someone gets it, or until I finish a real entry about this.

HintThis is an exercise similiar to ones you see on the SATs. For example Glove is to hand as _________ is to head. The answer is hat.
And when I say Islamic extremists, I’m talking about the terrorists, highly violent. For example the ones that hijacked the four planes on 9/11.

****GUESS #1****

[Shazar] – “Hmmm… I’d go with either Zealots, or Crusaders. But it is presented as a negative relation… so… Orthodox maybe?”
Good thoughts. It’s what I thought at first too. But its not right!

****GUESS #2****

[snickergirl] – “Fundamentalist”
Nope, but good guess.

****GUESS #3****

[Zombywoof] – “Americans.”
You didn’t take the PSATs or SATs because you’re Canadian right? Or maybe I’m confusing you with someone else. Anyways, not all Americans are Christians. You’ve missed the point of the exercise. Though I know you were being smart.

****GUESS #4****

[diminutive maiden] – “televanglelists (sp?).”
Hmmmm…never thought of that one. Good try, but no cigar.

****GUESS #5****

[Song Bird] – “Bush?”
Ha ha, that’s amusing. But no.

****GUESS #6****

[julieannie] – “You put “is to Christianity” so I figure the word is singular yet everyone keeps guessing plural. So I’m guessing it’s a singular entity of some sort.”
Interesting idea. But somewhat misleading. One group to a religion, as another group is to another religion. Think of it that way.

You put “is to Christianity” so I figure the word is singular yet everyone keeps guessing plural. So I’m guessing it’s a singular entity of some sort.
