ISIS is to Islam as the KKK is to Christianity

[Fireball]

@ Khem- the Muslims have only been hacking each other to pieces for centuries because that's all the longer they've been around. The rest of the ME's people have been hacking each other to pieces since before recorded history. So glad not to have been born there. I'd've ended up as a wackaloon with a scimitar.

I wonder if god is too lazy to kill the "wrong" people himself, or if he thinks it's funnier to watch humans do it for him?

If Satan actually won the War in Heaven then everything's going according to plan.

Christians probably killed more of and with greater zeal other Christians down the years than Muslims have killed other muslims.

The total ISIS casualty as percentage of exposed population is small potatoes next bigger religious wars in European history.

Give em time, they're working on it.

I often wonder what the overly zealous, rabid Christians in America would do if it wasn't for all those pesky secular laws. I'm betting there's plenty that would be stringing everyone up that they didn't like the look of.

With the resurgence of puppet ethnic-nationalism in the West, the decline of stabilizing international institutions that give stake to second and third rate powers, I think the post WWII international collaboration, the important-thing-is-the-pie-gets-bigger, era that served as the inspiration of liberal world order is coming to an end, and a new who-cares-if-the-pie-is-smaller-so-long-as-my-slice-looks-bigger-relative-to-my-neighbor’s era of neighbor buggery is dawning.

I don’t think it is at all unlikely the Christian world is headed back to an era of rampant fratricide on a 25-50 year time scale, especially in numerically dominant poor parts of Africa and South America.

I'm really glad we're past this point in England. We do still have a fair bit of racism, but I would expect there to be very few people who'd actually want to kill anyone over it.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but many of the opportunistic brexit promoters would just as soon kill someone in the name of racism if they think there is political opportunity in it.

They are both what happens when they can get away with it?

The realtime example of "when good people do nothing".

Mom asked me to get rid of the Y-donor's Klan gear. It was stored in one wooden chest with a cheap padlock. I took it to the cemetery and burned it on his grave. The grounds keeper leaned on his rake and watched.

In America its disrespectful to burn things, except crosses for some reason.
