Maybe this was stated earlier, read very few of the other responses.
The problem then is with the manipulators, those who listen to them too.

That's what I said.

I have one issue with all of them: They're all untrue.
But, extremist Jainism, for instance, is hardly on par with extremist Islam or Extremist Christianity. Some religions definitely cause more harm and do more damage than others.
Here is your comment, too:

? Please take discussions more seriously and take responsibility for what you said.
Otherwise; don't discuss.

I think that is very unfair. World War 2 -which claimed the life of almost 1000000 people- did not witness a single Muslim frontier; the hairy situation humanity is in now is because of the west and china, and their insane industrial cycle, atomic bombs are the real threat, and they are the specialty of non-Muslims.
WW2 claimed more than 1,000,000 people, try 12,000,000+, of all "types of people".
Northern Africa & the middle east were NOT on the muslim frontier during WW2!? I'd almost pay to see one of your history books from your school to see what you've been reading.
I almost agree with you on the text I didn't bold, almost...razor thin.
I stay at the low part of the estimation so I don't get accused with exaggeration. Keeping Arabia out of the debate in WW2 has to do with its theater being so distant from the heavy combat. WW2 to me is the European theater and Eastern Asia.
Razor thin agreeing is better than nothing at all
