But as it stands right now at this point in our species history hands down Islam has the biggest PR problem.
You cannot really say that it is "at this point." Ever since Islam started, they have been on the warpath, their slavetrade was even bigger than the Atlantic slave trade, they invaded other countries, they tried to force Gurus to convert or be beheaded. All these barbaric acts and much, much more besides. Islam has NEVER stopped being barbaric, because even though Christianity was terrible, barbaric, violent, call it what you will, Christians actually evolved, and perhaps it is because of Culture, perhaps it had something to do with the Industrial revolution which finally made the western world civilised. We can hate Christianity as much as we want, but at the end of the day, Christians are living in a modern society whereas the Neandarthals are still with us and they are reading the Qu'ran. They will not evolve, because their book is their guide.
