You hear all these Muhammadan apologists say they hate guilt by association because they don't want to be associated with all the violence that is done in the name of their religion and yet they want to associate Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-tung with Atheism. If you say to them: "Well, Osma Bin-Laden was a terrorist, therefore..." they will get angry. Yet they say: "Stalin was an Atheist, therefore..."I don't see the relevance of any of this to the OP.
If they want to talk about genocides I'll be quite happy to talk about the tens of millions of Hindus and others killed during the Mughal rule of the Indian sub-continent, Armenian genocide and the Arabs slave trade.
I would disagree. The OP talked about Stalin and Communism so I thought I'd throw that in there. Theists often talk about Stalin in relation to Atheism and make all sorts of claims, such as saying if you put his actions down to something other than his Atheism then you're wrong. Clearly, this is wrong but I felt it necessary to comment about that.
