2 weeks because it fits your narrative?

Go through it, I think out of 47 mentioned we have 3 to 4 carried out by people of Islamic faith.

Are Christians more inclined to mass murder then?

Have any of the non-Muslims who have killed done so in the name of their religion? Have they said that Christ or God has called them to kill? Or do they happen to be people of other religions who kill?

What are the abortion clinic killers driven by?

They have and they do, Matty.  You just don't read/hear them, preferring to drown their protests in a sea of shouts and bigotry.

Muslims criticise the Terrorists and their attacks.  You just don't read/hear them because the MSM doesn't report them.

Really?  I think they are busy grappling with Christian homophobia as well as Muslim homophobia...

Really?   They used to say that about Catholicism, about Judiasm, about Hinduism, about...

BEFORE people became aware of the good as well as the bad.

Ever hear of Suttee?
Ever hear of Opus Dei?
Ever hear of the anti-Semitic slurs about Passover?

I suspect you'd have been revelling in those when they were prevalent, Matty.   You just love to hate.

The reasons why Terrorism has become dominant from Islamists are party to blame on the West.  If the West had not decided to invade Afghanistan and Iraq, we would not have al Q'aeda nor Daesh as the great dangers they are considered today, Matty.   

Personally I have never seen FGM as a strictly Muslim problem and it has always in my mind been a North African cultural thing...

I listened to a fascinating podcast with an ex Westboro member being interviewed. She said that Westboro members don't hate fags, they're merely quoting exactly what's written in the bible.

They celebrate the death of gays because it's proof that god loves all people, and he hasn't killed living gays and has given them another chance to change.

I saw a Louis Theroux interview recently where he spoke about his time doing a doco with them where he said each and every last Westboro member was the nicest person you could ever meet, and when they were on the protest line and gays would engage them hoping for a verbal, they'd actually almost charm the pants off them and tell them their twisted logic.

Keep in mind the Westboro community numbers about 100.

Would seem to me Aslan is cherry picking and wrong...  many confident people are quite capable of conning others ad just being plain wrong whilst seeming right.

As you know, I'm not one of those.
There are extremists in all walks of life.

It's my position that the level of conservatism, fundamentalism, extremism, call it what you will has a much higher set point within Islam. It's also an undeniable fact that Christian countries are better insulated from religion due to secularism and separation of church and state.

Brian, if we get an influx of Christian fundamentalists from USA or elsewhere and it becomes off limits to publicly critique them due to racism, I'll fill the boards with post.

Mkay?
