A Picture is worth 1000 words...

Well I my self am Roman Catholic; although, the last few years I've struggled with religon.

But no I do not put Chrisitanity in the same area as Islam.

Christianity may have been violent in the past, but I wasn't around then. Islam is violent now.

Wrong, maybe you should read up a bit about Northern Ireland. And lets get this in proper terms, SOME Islam is violent, the majority isn't, same as Christianity.

So in Northern Ireland there are daily suicide bombings? People walking into cafe's, getting onto buses and other social places to blow themselves up?

People beheading innocent people?

How many muslims condemned 9/11... Probably a total of 2.

no not suicide bombers mate, they just used car bombs/pipe bombs in shopping centres and pubs, usually nail bombs, and can still be violent now, most arms were greatefully received from the amaerican government =]

Well they aren't targeting me so I can't comment on that topic.

 

[Peter Parka]

Ah gottcha, violent crime is ok so long as it isn't directed at you, what a lovely attitude you have!:smiley24:

america has never had to deal with large scale terrorism ever, hence their half arsed approach, something was usually being blown up for about 40 years solid, be it by the german in WWII or irish freedom fighters, lol

Yea it's pretty new to us. I'm of the mind to just nuke the Middle East.

Do not even try to compare the brutality of Islam and Christianity.
You do not have entire christian theocracies that oppress and brutalize women in the name of Christ.

Thank god someone knows how to formulate my thoughts into words.

Yeah because all Muslims do that don't they?:smiley24: No some Christians just indesciminately choose to kill men, women and children because they are of a different religion but I guess you think that is no where near as bad?:smiley24:

 

[DaveM]

the crusades, the wars between scotland and england, lets not forget russian christians regularly bayonetting people who weren't christian, if I can find my source, they basically tried to instigate a mass genocide a few hundred years ago, lets not forget the witch finder general who put hundreds to death, or the mass genocide of native americans by christians when they refused to bow to the settlers ways

 

[DaveM]

all that, barely scratching the surface was in the name of christ

Name me 3 christian theocracies that hang 16 year old girls for crimes against chastity. Name 3 christian theocracies that murder people for being homosexual.

Do you have any modern comparisons?

Erm, do you actually read stuff before replying? I never said they did, I just fail to see how you can possible think that Christianity is much better despite all the other violent things they do in the name of their religion. And get it in perspective will you, that is a MINORITY that do that.

Never heard of Northern Ireland or something? But then, if you'd read the thread, I wouldn't have to repeat myself.

I fail to see how you can even make a comparison. I know it is the in thing to bash christianity and it isn't PC to say anything negative about islam but come on. Trying to compare the brutality of the two in modern terms? That is a joke. lol

There will always be those extremist .. and always those who use them in debates/arugments.
