Exactly! It's amazing, isn't it, how we focus on the fanatical zealots of other religions while disregarding those of our own! Have Christians suddenly forgotten the heinous treatment meted out to millions of people worldwide in the name of Christianity over the centuries! Oh, but that was then, we're more civilised now! Absolute tosh!! The Nazis who murdered 6 million Jews were largely made up of Roman Catholics and Protestants. Christians wiped out the aboriginees of Tasmania. Spanish Christians massacred the indigenous peoples of South America. Christians and Muslims kill each other in South East Asia. People are people are people are people and there will always be some imbeciles who want to stir up trouble for their own ends. Is charity Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, etc? No, of course not. It's all charity. So why put a label on people? I can introduce you to wonderful, peaceful, law-abiding Muslims who detest the religious war-mongers of so-called Muslim countries and I can introduce you to Christians whom you'd rather stay away from for the rest of your life! Does that mean all Muslims are good and all Christians are bad? Of course it doesn't!
Ian, what are you talking about? Perhaps you should read up on your history before you go off on silly rants that make little sense. Hitler was Catholic yes, but he was decidedly anti-Christian. I noticed that you sling moron and imbecile around with a particular vehemence yet you appear to be oblivious to the irony in how those terms apply specifically to you. Your attempt to find some moral equivalence between Christians and radical Islam is perhaps the most demonstrative of this fact. Let me spell it out for you for. The Tasmanian Aborginals were killed in the 1800?s by white European settlers; pretty far back in the past for one, and not the result of a holy war for two. What are you going back to the 15th century for your other example? The point is that Christians and Jews have evolved beyond the current state of the Islamic jihadist (read Islamofascist). Christianity is more civilized now despite your attempts to simply brush that aside with your statements. You can use a historical context to spew up some sort of twisted moral equivalence but then you?d just be a fool with your eyes closed to the problem of today. Also, you may be able to introduce the world to many peace loving Muslims; this I don?t doubt as I know many myself. That doesn?t change the fact that the Muslim community is overwhelmingly and appallingly silent when it comes to denouncing the radicalism that has taken over their religion.
