There is a huge difference between Muhammad and Jesus - Muhammad was a man, a prophet of god. Jesus, according to that one book did all kind of wild shit like walk on water and part the sea and turn water into wine and heal the blind and lepers and curse fig trees so that they would wither and die. Mohammed didn’t want people building statues or painting pictures of him - because there should be no other idols aside from Allah. so the fact that these people have tried to (and have successfully) killed people in the name of Mohammed is the complete opposite of the prophet’s intentions. Murdering someone for drawing a picture making fun of someone who never wanted to be idolized is back asswards Any maniac can pick and choose words from a “sacred” text and use it to harm others. remember dr barnett slepian? that is just one example out of many beware, “the lambs of Christ” !!! > **[Christian terrorism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_terrorism)** > > Christian terrorism comprises terrorist acts by groups or individuals who profess Christian motivations or goals. The early modern period in Britain saw religious conflict resulting from the Reformation and the introduction of Protestant state churches. The 1605 Gunpowder Plot was a failed attempt by a group of English Catholics including Guy Fawkes to assassinate King James I, and to blow up the Palace of Westminster, the English seat of government.

here is another thing, and this stemmed from a discussion I had with an ex-coworker after he openly mocked a woman wearing the traditional Muslim garb. I said something along the lines of “you realize like a miniscule percent of Muslims are extremists, right?” he laughed. yeah right. ok, I asked, what percentage of Muslims do you think are extremists? " like 90%" he goes. 90%?? 90%. Islam is the largest religion on the planet. roughly one of every 4 people on this planet are Muslim. Meaning, if his extremely inaccurate assumption was anywhere close to correct, it wouldn’t take much for them to exterminate all non-Muslims from the planet. if they wanted to. which, obviously, 99.9999999999% have no intention of doing. ---

What bothers me about Islam is how large, vocal and violent the protests were after incidents like the naked prisoner stacking pictures came out as opposed to how quiet and reserved the “they don’t represent real Islam” statements were after incidents like the Boston bombing. It may be a really small percentage who will drive across several states to shoot someone over a cartoon but there are far too many who watch it happen and make comments like, “they shouldn’t do that but violence isn’t right”. And yes fuck all religions, but fuck Islam in particular because it’s the one CURRENTLY being used the most to justify terrorism. ---

No religion = no religious violence/segregation/hipocracy/war/protests/martyrs/etc. It’s religious people that are the issue here, whether you believe in some dude or a space ship, you’re all fucking nuts in some way, shape or form.
