Religion vs Ideology - an interesting perspective

[StAlbion]

Bu.. but... but the christians!

If only American schools could be as free as dogma as Iranian schools eh? Wanting to get abortion banned and voting for someone who would do that is just the same as voting for someone who wants to "wipe Israel off the map" say and who wants to get nuclear weapons.

But in the real world, when looney christians get angry, they just say silly things and everyone laughs at them. When the looney muslims get angry, it's time for suicide bombings.

Radical Islam isn't a person. It may be possible to beat it without killing people. Compare that to the calls for everyone in europe to be slaughtered for insulting islam, and you might just be able to notice a slight difference.

I agree... we should take preventive measures.

I'm not sure which America you live in, but where I'm from, crazy Christians getting angry means I'll be reading about abortion clinics getting firebombed over my morning bowl of Cheerios. Or maybe I'll be reading about somebody calling for the illegal assassination of a democratically elected head of state. Or that God smites **** for not killing Arabs and running them off their land.

Don't pretend Islam has a monopoly on crazy thoughts and actions, you guys have been setting the standard since before Muhammad was born.

That's nonsense. Christianity used to be a religious, political and social worldview all in one, too. It's only since we became civilised and it started dying that we relegated it to a few boring hours every Sunday and the occasional crappy sing-a-long. (There are still people who are frothing at the mouth, give me Jesus or give me death, you're all going to hell unless you do exactly as I say lunatics.) Islam is where we were a few hundred years ago.

He spelled Caesar wrong.

Messing up a diphthong is perhaps understandable (even if he did it twice), what really shocks me is his spelling "umbrage" with an "h".
