Well....to be fair the numbers are probably about equal. Christians have recieved more publicity, but I'd say that historically speaking they are only slightly ahead on the curve of atrocities. Allthough admittedly the Crusaders being cannibals ranks pretty high up on the list.I haven't read this entire thread, mainly do to the headache the first post gave me, but honestly, let me ask this:
Are you serious? Take a look into a history book. More people have died at the hands of "professed" christians than muslims. Hitler grew up in the church. Need I say more? Of course I do, you've already dismissed me! How about this one word:
Crusades.
And, again to be fair, Hitler grew up in a Roman Catholic family and he DID attend church, however he stopped the second he left home. Which indicates he probably wasnt too into itHitler grew up in the church

Your politicians must be told and their phones should be ringing off the hook so they never get any peace!!!
The "peaceful" muslims arn't aware of what their quran says and/or arn't doing anything. Do you know any peaceful muslims stopping the radical ones? If so, I want a very detailed report on how they are stopping them with your list of resources. Presently, they having nothing to show for their efforts.
The U.S. needs to come out of the pipe dream and wake up to reality. I thought 9/11 was reality enough.
---Note: This isn't a "phobia". The correct term for the word phobia is when someone is radically afraid of something and it is diagnosed as a mental illness. This is called self defense folks!! When people use the term islam phobia or whatever phobia they mislabel it and obviously don't know what the word is defined as.
Please, please, go to your dictionary and look up what a word means before you use it - that way you will at least appear educated.
Crusades.
Go ahead and pull some scripture out that says you should be 'bashing' Islam at all. Go ahead. I'll be waiting.Ah yes...the classic knee-jerk answer of Muslim apologists.
Kind of like if Charles Manson's lawyer argued his client should go free because Jack the Ripper was never caught. If your house is broken into and the culprit arrested, you don't mind if we let him go free because another burglary down the street thirty years ago was never solved, do you? It wouldn't be fair to YOUR burglar to lock him up if someone else committed a crime back in the Sixties and was never caught and punished, right?
And the Crusades were a response to earlier Muslim aggression against Christians. Look it up.
In this thread, Islam is in the dock. If you want to bash Christians, make your own thread.

There are still areas of the Muslim world where Christians are referred to as Crusaders. While we have chosen to move on, its still very much on the mind of others.Ah yes...the classic knee-jerk answer of Muslim apologists.

Can you show me where Christ told his followers to flat out hate people of other faiths and/or walks of life?Matt---
Real christians don't go out slaughtering people because they won't convert like the radical muslims do. What is "professed" doesn't mean anything. If they don't act like a christian - they arn't. A duck isn't a horse.

What happend at Ma`arat al-Numan is still readily told in the Muslim world.
And I hate to nitpick, but the Crusades were a response to an inflated Muslim threat. Bedouin raiders had been attacking pilgrim caravans (the Bedouins opperated outside the jurisdiction of the local Caliphs) and this was inflated beyond proportion by the pope because of his desire to re-capture the Holy Land.
You dont seem to understand, regardless of how long ago that was, its still considered relevant in the Muslim world.If someone wants to say excesses were committed on both sides during the Crusades and there was blame to go around, I have no problem with that. I'm just tired of having to hear about the Crusades every time I point out the repeated butcheries that Islam and Muslims have carried out worldwide. Number one, that was long, LONG before anyone alive today was born. Number two, the Crusades were a series of WARS, not one-sided slaughter like on 9/11. Number three, the Muslim apologists need to stop blame-shifting. Like I said in an earlier post, their tired arguments would be like Charles Manson's lawyer arguing Charles should go free because Jack the Ripper did the same thing.
No one is suggesting that terrorists not be prosecuted. Im simply stating that your understanding of why people in the Middle East dont like us and some of who see the insurgents in Iraq as freedom fighters is lacking. You arent considering everything.Nonsense. When a crime is committed, the accused cannot get out of gaol just because others committed the same crime hundreds of years ago. I can't go shoot a man in the head, and when I am arraigned tell the judge that what I did was nothing compared to the ravages of Genghis Khan, and how dare anyone try and prosecute me when no one arrested Genghis.
What else do they have to go on? Every contact with the West they have is through violence. Our soldiers are there now treating people like dirt, what do you expect? Every single involvement we have with the Middle East involves war or us trying to get something from them.And as far as Muslims refusing to leave the past behind, THAT is the major stumbling block to progress in the Muslim world: clinging to the Middle Ages.
Maybe..
Homosexual Muslims were the reason for the y2k bug?! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, I might be on to something!! (You can't say Oh My G-d anymore here?!)

I think you misunderstood me.
Christians don't go into other countries and burn skyscrapers down or make threats because people don't convert to christianity.
Actually Christians quite frequently state that those who do not accept Jesus will burn for an eternity in hell.Matt--
