Serbia, Rwanda, Sudan, East Timor...


Media doesn't report the facts.

Dark ages, witch burnings, genocide on Native Americans, African slavery, American Civil War, WWI, WWII...

There is a differance between actually commiting violent/hateful acts, and commiting similar acts in the NAME OF A RELIGION. Of course most Muslims claim these small groups of terrorists don't represent the true Islam - which I agree is mostly true. However, ALL of the acts with the possible exception of the 'witch burnings', which you have mentioned have NOT been in the name of Christianity.

P.S. To say that only Westerns or Christians perpetuated 'African slavery' is ludicrous.

Ok...you obviously watch NO NEWS, because the conservative media is exploiting the Darfur crisis (Muslim connection) like rabid dogs.

They weren't in the name of christianity? Then what were they in the name of?

Hypocracy much?

The Crusades....

Your joking right? You actually believe that the American Civil War or WWI were caused by Christianity?

How is this hypocracy? Give me ANY evidence that ANY (with the expection of 'witch burning') of the above events WERE directly related to Christianity.

Ummm....neither him nor I mentioned the Crusades...

Well, ok I concede, I just like arguing BUT...

The crusades killed millions...in the name of christianity...I know neither of you mentioned....but I did...

Your right they claimed it was in the name of Christianity, but thats like saying the war right now against the west is a war in the name of Islam.

Both were/are not supported by the majority of the populace.

Why do you liberals defend these Muslims who commit genocide? 50,000 innocent people were recently killed in the Sudan. They were killed by Muslims.

Radical Muslims are NOt tolerant, they are NOT peaceful, and they have nothing in common with modern day liberal views. So why defend these people that kill?

I don't defend the people committing the atrocities, but when people insinuate that Muslims are somehow evil and that Islam teaches them to commit these atrocities, promoting foolish racism, while ignoring the fact that Christianity and other religions are the cause of just as many problems and deaths, it kinda bothers me. The with burnings alone resulted in anywhere between 700,000 to 9 million deaths - probably somewhere in the middle of those two figures. Even the lower extreme is frightening.

So I'm not defending what they do, but attacking the xenophobia, racism, and hypocrisy that this post was teeming with.

Sure, but they were commited at least primarily by Christians. And of course, that's only a short list. The Spanish Inqusition and Crusades are two good examples of atrocities commited directly in the name of Christianity.

Also, the dark ages were likely the direct result of the Catholic church essentially taking over Europe and stopping much scientific and social progress dead in its tracks.

Oh, and let's not forget the holocaust, which was rooted in centuries of religious hatred, where Hitler utilized Christianity to take totalitarian control of Germany, then executed 6 million Jews.
