Horrible things have been done in the name of religion.
Do you want your religion to be judged by the whack-a-loons in it?

It's still condoned by their religious leaders.
Islam is still centuries behind the other religions of the world.

i am perfectly comfortable with looking at the total number of whack a loons a religion has (as a percentage of the whole). and seeing what those whack a loons are actually doing.

take for instance christianity, of the 2 billion or so christians, there are the uber rare idiots who kill. I can think of 3 in the last 20 years. Then there is the Westburro Bapstist Church. total whack jobs but they dont kill people. i think there are 40 of them....

Then there is Islam. Every study I have seen suggests that at least 10% of the Billion Muslims are radicalized in their belief. Killings take place against Muslims every single day in the name of their god allah.


the contrast is stark. islam has a serious problem that adhearants need to get fixed.


In all cases of christians acting out insanely, the overwhelming majority of Christians denounce the act publically and quickly.

In Islam, even those who are not radicalized, tend to say nothing or explain it away.

If you lived in a culture dominated by 10% violent "wackaloons" that could not be controlled by either religious or secular law would you have the courage to publically protest?

They are not loons. They're devout Muslims carrying out jihad against non-believers as their religion instructs.

What a bunch of animals. They should use drones on children instead. You know like the modern terrorists use.

Westboro is seen as the fraud that it is by probably 99.99% of Christians. They are lawyers in a money-making scheme under the protection of religious freedom. Are there even 40 of them? But yes, they don't kill.

I hate all religion. Religion makes good people do horrible things. When you look at Christianity, many more than 3 have died as a result of that religion in the past twenty years..........and I am only looking at children.
