CCTV footage of ISIS stabbing in Australia

[mralstoner]

The police believe this is ISIS-inspired because of what the attacker said at the scene.

Say what you like about Christianity, but Islam is clearly the new cancer that needs to be eradicated. The neighbours should have took him out there and then.

Islam is 600 years behind Christianity. Christianity had their kill-crazy radical phase already. Islam's just catching up. The only issue is that they have 2016 technology to help them

What does that have to do with anything? Before they were practicing Islam, they were practicing Judaism, paganism and other obscure faiths. It is their culture that is stopping them from evolving. Secondly, compare the numbers killed by Arabs in their conquests and how many countries they conquered and then the crusades and how many countries they conquered. Either way, it is a cancer and I don't see why Islam should get a free pass to do as they please.

What does the beliefs of those before Islam have to do with anything? You think the Muslims of 600 A.D. are the same Muslims of today? You don't think certain aspects changed in that time? You don't think that different parts of their faith and different parts of the Quoran were reinforced over that time? 

I'm saying that the Islamic State's mission statement is almost exactly the same as the Catholic Church's hundreds of years ago. And I'm not talking about just the blood spilt in Europe during the Crusades. What about Spain's time in the Americas? How many natives were slaughtered because they didn't understand Catholicism or refused to follow it?

The same could be said about Arabs when they conquered a great deal of the world, especially Africa and when they massacred millions of Hindus. All I am reading here is an Islamic apologist liberal who screams "Islamophobia", just because someone dares criticises it. Furthermore, I am aware of what Christians had done and not once did I excuse them, however, Islam has been the same for nearly 600 years, nothing has changed. Just keep doing your apologists act, scream with the liberal lefts that someone is Islamophobic etc etc if it makes you feel any better. Just for information, Christianity, Judaism and Islam are just like Nazism.

I didn't see anyone call anyone "Islamophobe" ... Yet.

All I am reading here is a straw man argument. I never said anything about Islamaphobia nor did I accuse you of being Islamaphobic. 

My argument here is that there is nothing inherently different about Islam when compared to Christianity and the atrocities committed in the name of Yahweh. I'm not excusing anything, what I am doing is saying that there is nothing worse about Islam just because the terrible things it's doing are happening now instead of farther back in history. If we both hate Christianity and Islam for causing so much death and destruction, then we actually agree on the matter.

Next time you deliberately misrepresent my argument I won't bother responding. Arguments and discussions work better when you don't automatically assume things about the other person and talk down to them like children. By the way, I don't identity myself as liberal.

If that was the case, I wouldn't have responded to half of the responses I have received here then. So yeah, if Obama could do us a favour and take out IS and other groups like them , then I guess a few billion people will be able to sleep better at night. Furthermore, you cannot compare the incomparable i.e. the Islam of today compared to Christianity of a thousand years ago.

But why not? It seems like the same story, just a different chapter. A religion which has control over a significant region of the known world attempts to expand its region as far as possible, forcing everybody in its path to convert or die. There are significant differences though, mostly due to technology like I said earlier. The Islamic State is able to recruit from all over the world thanks to the internet. The weapons they posses are capable of causing a significant amount of death and destruction. But their goals are still the same.
