This is coming from an atheist, but in defense of the Christians, they haven't (recently) strapped explosives to themselves and blow up a school because girls learn there. They haven't beheaded someone for not believing in God exactly the same way they do.

I am only 'confused' by double standards and intellectual dishonesty. Governed by religion or beheaded?
You're the bright one. Why don't you help me out and tell me what I really mean?

I think "Muslims" Have a duty to stop all the nonsense if they want to. They should be inside fighting on their own if this is a peaceful religion as it it claimed? It's not and these assholes will stop at no end to disrupt any Christian way of life.
Seriously Islam is the enemy of all mankind.
Muslims if you are peaceful prove it. Fight your war and quit threatening everyone else in the meantime, or just kill yourselves already.
And what is the Christian way of life? To force everyone to live under the laws of Christian dogma? Also this may come as shock to you but America IS NOT a Christian nation no matter how much the delusional fools cry that it is a Christian nation. The founders of this nation knew better than to let religion in government and it is our fault for electing religious nutcases into office.

Sometimes I wonder if the majority of American Muslims aren't just disenfranchised Christians who want to "belong" to something. You never used to hear about American Muslims..they've expanded rapidly like cults do. Now it's considered "hip" in some circles to be a Muslim in America. Meanwhile ISIS has members now in all of the states, just waiting for a command to carry out an attack on Christians or any American who isn't a Muslim. The FBI and other intelligence agencies even admit they are coming in faster than they can keep up with them, in their words it's like the story of the Dutch boy putting his finger in the dike to try and stop the flood. Islam isn't an American religion. This country was founded on the Bible, not the koran.

Hell, the most "radical" of Christian groups today, the Westboro Baptist Church, only pickets funerals of soldiers and gay people.

People need to stop defining terrorism and murder by the religion the murderer chooses to associate with, either that or make it a factor of every nutter murdering people. How many of those responsible for mass shootings in the USA were "Christian"? How many serial killers are Christian? How many people in prison for murder, child abuse or violent crime are Christian?
Did I lump them together? Really? Because if you have even casually read any of my posts of the subject of Islam, I have said multiple times, in multiple threads that the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful, wonderful people.

And neither have a billion other Muslims. But hey let's lump them all together because of the radicals
Actually, Bush lied about WMDs to get approval to go into Iraq. It had nothing to do with religion.

Actually Bush was a "former alcoholic" that became born again Christian to pander the religious right in order to get the votes to get in the White house, much of what he promised to the religious right he lie too was never fulfilled, but he did used religion in many ways to get the majority "Christian America" to approve his invasion of Iraq.

I see that you're trying to make the tenuous connection between Bush's religion and the invasion of Iraq.
The fact is religion had nothing to do with the invasion of Iraq, and you know that.
What you're suggesting is that if the perpetrator of any crime ascribes to any religion, then it's on the same level as islamic terror, which is patently false.

The thing is, these Muslims get to sit there and laugh about comments...meanwhile Christians in the Middle East are being beheaded by the hundreds. Isn't it great to live in the USA?

I'm not blaming an entire religion. I'm blaming radical extremists that follow that religion.

Surely there are warning signs. Not all extremists are cunning liars who can fly under the radar for years. Sure, they exist, but they're uncommon. Take the case of the one of the perpetrators in Texas, there were warning signs, but sadly they went ignored until it was too late. Hell the FBI even investigated the dude. And to be fair, I know quite a few mosques that will report suspicious activity of any of their followers to the authorities, such as sympathizing with known terrorist cells, or making threatening statements. More power to them!

Like radical extremist Christians who blow up Mosques and abortion clinics?
