What about Mexican drug cartels? They do things just as horrible as ISIS and they wear crosses around their necks. Should we be afraid of all Christians because of what they do in Mexico? I've seen a video of some guy getting his head cut off with a chainsaw, I've heard of bodies being found at the bottom of lakes cemented inside of barrels with their heads sticking out, I've heard of whole families being chopped up and stuffed in trunks, all of this was done by Christian drug cartels.
If these drug cartels don't represent Christianity then why does ISIS represent Islam?
Why are Palestinians executed inside of Jerusalem?

I'm not defending Islam I'm just sick of people blaming it for all of our troubles when the reality is all organized religions are to blame for our troubles in one way or another.
If people were claiming WBC represented all of Christianity then I'd be calling bull# on that too.

My point is all religions have their bad apples and generalizing an entire religion based on the actions of a few of its followers is ridiculous and asinine.
If Islam encouraged is followers to kill people at random then that would be happening praise of ISIS regularly.
So tell me, why is Islam worth defending and Christianity is not? They both suck imo, yet, BS is BS when spewed forth.

Considering just today in Bosnia, Europe, huge load of arms intended for islamists in Sweden were caught and folks detained - - I cannot but concur the islamophobia is more than well founded.
Let’s begin in 1979 in Afghanistan, where the Moujahedeen (“holy warriors”) were in battle against a secular, progressive government supported by the Soviet Union; a “favorite tactic” of the Moujahedeen was “to torture victims [often Russians] by first cutting off their nose, ears, and genitals, then removing one slice of skin after another”, producing “a slow, very painful death”. With America’s massive and indispensable military backing in the 1980s, Afghanistan’s last secular government (bringing women into the 20th century) was overthrown, and out of the victorious Moujahedeen arose al Qaeda.
