Does Islamic State really have nothing to do with religion? Fathima Nazeer

Sure does, and while we're not being polite and leaving it out of the discussion - christianity is no more or less shitty than islam. A pretty hefty number of christians think that the bible is of divine origin and to be interpreted literally as well.

The core concept of both religions is the imitation of their archetypes Jesus and Mohammed. A quick study of their biographies is enough to show that these archetypes are radically different characters. Jesus was a hippy, Mohammed was a head chopper on mass. The argument about literalism is really a minor point. It's the behaviour of the archetypes that matters. Actions speak louder than words. Hence, Christianity is in fact a good deal "less shitty" than Islam. I wouldn't want to live under a theocracy of either brand, but Jesus is a far more peaceful role model than Mohammed. This is plainly obvious.
