I feel like people attack Christianity alot for it's bullshit, which I happily agree with and do myself, but I also attack Islam and other religions for the bullshit they spew out. Why are so many people afraid to attack Islam?

Because they come and get you.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Because every time you anger them, they kill some other innocent person.
Their barbarity has no bounds!

And you all agree that all of those are good enough reasons to not attack something that you perceive as simply stupid?

You may have noticed - or not - the exchange with hussein, or however he writes his alias. When they come here to spew religious bullshit, we call them out just like any other religious person doing it. It's only that mostly christians come here.

As for attacking Islam in general, it often degenerates into attacking muslims. There's a difference, just as there is a difference between attacking christianity and christians. As for the above link, which has no obvious connection to the topic at hand, according to official Europol statistics, there have been 249 terrorist attacks in Europe in 2010. out of this number, 3 were connected to Islamists. Between 2006 and 2013, 0,7 percent of terrorist attacks have been committed by Islamist groups or persons. Again, according to Europol statistics in the public domain.

@hilary

Um. No. We're just saying why we think people don't do that. That's, um, what you asked.

Christians are peaceful... ish.
Jews are peaceful... ish.
Muslims (not all, thankfully) take pride in wearing an AK-47 on one arm and a dagger in their belts.... and they know how to use both.
