QL,
I don't see Christians, Jews and Wiccans trying to exterminate the other religions off the face of the map. I don't see them honor killing woman and children.
Islam's Latest Contributions to Peace
"Mohammed is God's apostle. Those who follow him are harsh
to the unbelievers but merciful to one another" Quran 48:29
2012.09.10 (Mussayib, Iraq) - Sunni bombers take down three Shiites near their shrine.

2012.09.10 (Kunduz, Afghanistan) - A Holy Warrior blows himself up at a demonstration, sending twenty-one other souls to Allah.
2012.09.10 (Aleppo, Syria) - The FSA claims a bombing outside a hospital and school that leaves seventeen civilians dead.

2012.09.09 (Farah, Afghanistan) - A 12-year-old boy is disassembled by a Taliban bomb.
I hate the false equivalency of this.
If you wanna strap a bomb to yourself and fly it into a building to hangout with 77 virgins, well you religion is probably Islam.
Just like if you are a racist who hates black people and started caring about our nation's fiscal issues oh so diligently around 1/20/09, you probably belong to the tea party (if you have a political affiliation)
Some people are just nuts, its unfortunate we have to sugarcoat it. Christian's might be a brainwashed bunch but they aren't close to the primitive beings some of these people are.
lol, pretty much nothing compared to the havoc extreme Muslims have put on the world. How many christian suicide bombers are there? How many jews hitting their wife in the face with a shovel? To compare those 3 groups to muslims in terms of violence caused is a joke, especially in 2012. Which is what the thread is...
What about them? I'd rather live in a predominately christian nation than a predominately muslim nation anyday, and for good reason.
Nobody ever said christian's (or whoever else) haven't committed atrocities but comparing them to muslims?
That dude in Florida wanted to burn the Koran a few years ago, yeah burn it, that's it. A muslim extremist doesn't wanna burn the bible, they want to burn the people reading it.
McVeigh didn't do what he did in the name of religion. His religion
whatever it was, was irrelevant.
How many abortion doctors get shot in the world per year, vs. how many
people killed by Muslims? Here, I'll help you out.
Since 1993, an average of .5 abortion doctors are killed per year.
Only a flaming fringe liberal would make such an utterly stupid comparison.
From the Quran:
- Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them(2:191)
- Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood (9:123)
- When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them (9:5)
- Kill the Jews and the Christians if they do not convert to Islam or refuse to pay Jizya tax (9:29)
- Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable (3:85)
- The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them (9:30)
- Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam. (5:33)
- The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque (9:28)
- Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies
(22:19) - Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them (47:4)
- The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them (8:65)
- Muslims must not take the infidels as friends (3:28)
- Terrorise and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an (8:12)
- Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorise the infidels (8:60)
Exactly. I'm not religious and I think there are some crazy Christian's out there but I'd rather hear someone tell me they're going to save us all, being gay is wrong and evolution isn't real than strap a bomb to themselves and blow me the hell up. Liberals fall into the false equivalency way too much.
Let's say you're right. Let's say Muslims commit far more atrocities than Christians or Jews. Does that mean we can be outraged when someone singles out Christians or Jews for the atrocities of a few but we shouldn't be outraged when someone does it to Muslims simply because the perception is that they do it more?
I'm not saying it's wrong to criticize Muslims for the atrocities they commit. I'm an equal-opportunity criticizer. I just think it's hypocritical that people are outraged when it's done against Christians or Jews.
