Islam is exactly like christianity unless you are part of one or the other.

Same great message, same thought, same god... same fundamentalist assholes ruining it for everyone.

Nooooobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. Cardinal Fang. The cushy pillow.

The stupidity of actions justified by religion is that funny. Black humor in red robes.

Really? When did the Christian's rise up, riot, and kill people in the last 20 years because the NY Times ran a cartoon of Jesus in the paper? How about a Jew joke? When did they rise up and chop off someones head because someone made fun of their God? Hmmmmmm....

One, the actions of a few DO NOT represents the views of the majority. Two, I think earlier on this thread they showed that it was only around 1,000 people in the entire world that protested against the cartoons.

Anyways, you can't compare modern Islam to modern Christianity because Christianity has become liberalized. To compare the two you would have to ask what would 13-16th century Christians do? Those are people that attacked Jerusalem just because they felt like they owned it, tried to kill off an entire continent, and the paranoia with the Salem witch trials. The closest you can get is to compare them to the Christians that bomb abortion clinics and protest at soldier’s funerals. Conservative religions never have a good reputation when it comes to violence and you can not single Islam out as violent since both Christianity and Judaism have been very violent in the past.
