As I said earlier, I don't accept the apologism that is thrown out after every barbaric Islamist act. I call BS.
To me, this is no different than when the gun lobby refuses to discuss gun control after every mass shooting. They think it's too emotional a time to start lumping in the good gun owners with the bad gun owners who just committed a crime. They're full of shit.
Similarly, after every Islamic massacre in the west we get the same reasoning. Let's not call out Islam right now because that's unfair to the peaceful Muslims and we MUST remind christians that their religion sucks too. Let's remind everyone of the crusades, western crimes, poverty etc.. so that moderate Muslims will know there is nothing wrong with Islam. Let's try to convince everyone that religions are all the same so as not to offend anyone. I say bullshit to all this.
In no way would I advocate any kind of retaliatory violence, but this IS the right time to remind our moderate Muslim friends that Islam is a piece of shit religion. I have good friends and family who are Catholic and I have no problem telling them that IMO the Catholic church is the most corrupt organization the world has ever seen and we still remain friends. They're adults and if they can't take that kind of criticism of their faith (esp after a revelation of a church crime for example) then they should consider dropping their religion which is the point of the criticism. Muslims are not dainty flowers that need to be protected by the members of atheist forums. They're actual people who need to hear the results of what faith in a murderer, rapist and pedophile can lead to.

If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
