Since you believe Islam to be the CAUSE of the violence, then you must believe we are justified outlawing Islam in America,
for starters.
Is that what you believe, or do you take some other illogical view?
Don't tell me what I must do, you moron.
Namecalling is proof that you've lost the argument. Isn't that one of your beliefs?
No.
Vulgarity is.
What you call 'name calling' is accurately describing.
I'm good at that.
Okay, then you're a mentally retarded bigot. Happy now?
So do you seroiusly equate world wide islamic terrorism that occurs on a daily basis with chrisitian violence? Do you see them as equivalent? One reaps as much death as the other? Do you really want to appear as being that foolish?
Both are being conducted by a minority of that religion's extremists. The vast majority of each religion's adherents do not participate in that violence or condone it. In that they are certainly comparable. However, the main difference seems to be that with one religion you are willing to blame the entire religion for the acts of it's extremists yet cry foul when the other religion is tarred in a similar way. In order to do that, of course, you have to be able to show that the entire religion is at fault by attacking it's Holy Book, yet that falls apart when closely examined as the Bible contains far more calls to violence - unrestricted violence - than the Quran.
Extremists are the problem - not a particular religion. And the factors leading to this rise in extremism are complex and more than simply religion.
