When will the Middle East become majority Atheist?

That doesn't seem to follow. Do you think if the WBC started bombing rival churches they'd go 'oh fuck, I see now how dangerous Christianity is?'

When ISIS talks about 'marching into Rome', they're talking about Istanbul, 'the Rome of the East'. Turkey by itself has the military power to crush ISIS. But since the USA is obviously going to wind up doing the heavy lifting like it always does, why should they step up?

If we stayed out of it, Turkey, Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt would HAVE to put down ISIS. They're the countries to which ISIS is the biggest threat. Libya too, if they're not too far gone already.

I feel for them, it must be wretched. I hope one day they can connect up properly.

I hear it's 5% in Saudi, maybe higher in Iran.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
