I would venture to say that closest we got any form of modern state-level sanctioned violence for Christians was in northern Ireland in the 1990s.

You mean besides the 30 Years War and the Crusades?

[Vesayen]

You call the 30 years war modern?

[David Floyd]

Fair enough. I missed the "modern" bit.

What?

The violence in NI was not really about religion, despite the different religions of the opposing sides. Nor was it at anywhere near its peak in the 90's. As far as the state role goes - are you referring to the actions of the British Army & Police, or the covert backing to / collusion with some Loyalist paramilitaries? The provos were not state backed - unless you mean Libya.

CH - Don't interfere with a healthy dose of moral relativism. We were all just as bad, it just happens to be Muslims at the moment...

We need a 'Define moral relativism' thread.

We also need a sarcasm smiley.

Spineless from the start, sucked into the part
circus comes to town, you play the lead clown
Please, please
spreading his disease, living by his story
Knees, knees
falling to your knees, suffer for his glory
You will

[Chorus]
Time for lust, time for lie
time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
and you'll get a better seat
[End Chorus]

Bow to Leper Messiah

Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix
blind devotion came, rotting your brain
Chain, chain
Join the endless chain, taken by his glamour
Fame, Fame
Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power
We see

[Chorus]

Bow to Leper Messiah

Witchery, weakening
Sees the sheeps are gathering
set the trap, hypnotize
now you follow

[Chorus]

Lie.

A good explination of old christiannity.

Oh man. Not while I'm at work. My coworkers are going to start to look at me funny.

[Spec]

Why?

You've clearly never seen me sing along/head bang to Metallica before.

Didn't realize the 30 Years War and the Crusades happened in recent times (1990s).

In terms of a linear time logic, Islam is about 6-800 years younger. Its still a rebelious teenager.
