I'll just leave this statistical report here:

The World’s Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society

http://www.pewforum.org/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-overview/

I think we're arguing different points here. You're saying that Islam is bad, and I'm saying that there's not a lot of ground by which other religions can claim to be better. Christianity, at least, hasn't had that sort of grounds since Emperor Constantine, and it can never have such grounds so long as the Lord's Resistance Army continues to exist.

You're presuming I don't feel similarly about most other religions. I do. In particular, I'm no fan of Christianity.

The reason my fear of and disgust for Islam outstrips my fear of and disgust for Christianity is mainly because Christianity has, in most places in the world and to varying degrees, been brought to heel. The separation of church and state in America (where I happily do not reside) is admittedly pretty tenuous (alarmingly, frighteningly tenuous, IMO), but at least there is one. Even in Russia, with the issues they're having right now, religion is not given the power to determine politics on just about every level to the extent that it is in many of the major Islamic countries.

Also, statistically, extremism is far more prevalent in Islam than it is in Christianity, at the present time (which frankly is the point in time that matters to me by far the most).

A couple of receipts for prevalence of extremism in Islam:

Admittedly, I haven't bothered to look up the stats for what percentage of Christians believe fellow Christians should be killed for leaving Christianity, or for whether a wife must always obey her husband, or for whether honor killings are permissible. But I think we can agree that, on the whole, those numbers are going to be a fair bit lower than the ones provided by the PEW research study regarding Islam. (Though I might still try looking it up, tomorrow, when I'm less exhausted and sickened by this whole thing.)

And one more time, this Very Important Point: Hating/fearing a religion does NOT equal hating/fearing the people who ascribe to said religion. As far as I'm concerned, good people manage to make some pretty decent stuff out of some very messed up belief systems.

"Christianity has, in most places in the world and to varying degrees, been brought to heel."

by who? the last time i checked, Islamphobia is more winner by margin. look, i don't understand what it takes to wrong a religions, especially Christianity. but islam has mixed this up, really fast and dangerously mind boggling.

And, you know arab is not a small state of land. and the history of the place are MAJOR CLUSTERFUCK of the recent years. and well, now you know who i gonna pointing finger at to clean the fucking mess.....?

by who?

By the slow, laborious, and often nonlinear process of civilization. That's...I mean, was that really a question?

the last time i checked, Islamphobia is more winner by margin.

The last time you checked was the middle ages? OMFG TIME TRAVEL.

Okay, okay, I'm being a tiny bit facetious with the whole "middle ages" thing, but really? Not that facetious. That's what's so scary.

"By the slow, laborious, and often nonlinear process of civilization. That's...I mean, was that really a question?"

really, REALLY??! pinned the blame on workforce...

*facepalm*

no to you, no to you.
