Re: We've officially had the worst shooting in US history

Not in modern times in the West. Some places in the world, you can be killed for being gay under Christian-theocratic governments.

And of course there's the history of the Crusades, Inquisition, conquest of the New World, etc. Oh and speaking of the New World remember how the Aztecs captured their neighbors and then violently sacrificed them to their gods?

This level of violence in the name of religion is not a historically unique phenomenon that only applies to radical Islam.

I'm not saying radical Islam isn't a unique problem now, but I don't understand people claiming violence is somehow inherent to Islam or even that Islam is more prone to it than religious radicalism in general.

Re: We've officially had the worst shooting in US history

[(Anonymous)]

Excuse me if I'm not super fussed about something that happened a thousand years ago (the Crusades, seriously?), but am more concerned about what's happening right now on my own doorstep.

Violence in the name of anything is endemic to humanity at large. I mean, we could also go off on a total tangent about how many millions of people Communism has killed over the past hundred years or so, if you want.

The fact is that radical Islam, right here, today, glorifies mass murder. So let's try not to deflect from that by going "But other people did it too!"

ok I feel like you read the first half of my comment and then responded before reading the second half

like I specifically acknowledged that radical Islam is a unique modern problem

I'm just refuting the idea that violence is somehow intrinsic to Islam in a way that it's not to other religions (or, as you said, to people in general)
