****ing Religious ****ing ****ers!!!

[aneeshm]

I notice how you have conveniently avoided condemning the Christian that started this all by burning the Quran. I can only assume that this is your own blinked religious prejudice in action and is, in itself, a reason why the world would be better off without religious people...

It's a book; a piece of cellulose with some marks on it. It is most emphatically not a human. His action is nutty, may be even offensive to those who like the book, but that's it.

The Muslims on the other side of this problem, however, are murderous and bloodthirsty. They killed people.

The two are not comparable. It is grotesque to claim that they are.

Really!? How can you justify that claim? I would claim that vast amounts of death, wars and suffering down the ages have religion as their direct cause...

Human nature is the cause. The Romans have nothing on the Communists when it comes to persecuting Christians. Hell, the Christians, Nazis, Muslims, and Mongols combined have nothing on the Communists in matters of mass murder.

Afghanistan: United Nations mission rocked by mob killings

Death toll unconfirmed after protesters storm Mazar-e-Sharif compound in response to Qur'an burning by US pastor



C*nty religious nutters in the US set off c*nty religious nutters in Afghanistan.

Just imagine how much better this world would be without religious people...

It's a bit unfair to compare a guy who burned a book with people who killed.

Well, this site would have me believe otherwise...

Communists:
Mao Zedong - 40 million
Joseph Stalin - 20 million
Russian Civil War - 9 million

Christians:
British Empire - 27 million
Taiping Rebellion - 20 million
Atlantic slave trade - 16 million
Conquest of the Americas- 15 million
First world war - 15 million
Congo Free State - 8 million
Crusades - 3 million

Mongols:
Genghis Khan - 40 million
Tamerlane - 17 million

Muslims:
Mideast slave trade - 19 million
Muslim conquest of India - 13 million

Nazis: 42 million (WWII, excluding Pacific theater)

So far that's 69 million Communist victims, 235 million by Christians, Nazis, Muslims, and Mongols combined. Yes, this listing is nowhere near exhaustive and is missing some notable Communists like Pol Pot. If you would like to offer an alternative source that supports your claims, feel free to do so...

I'd say the Japanese were a tad more savage than the Americans in World War II. Just ask the Filipinos. Or the Chinese. Or the Koreans. Or any of the American POWs. Or the Japanese themselves.

That wasn't even near the point of my statement, but at least your prejudices are neatly put on display.

What do you expect from someone who wants to exterminate Palestinians?

Oh yeah, burning a book is totally equivalent to murdering a load of people.

Burning a book makes you an idiot, but shouldn't be illegal. Presumably we all agree that a crazed mob murdering a bunch of people should be illegal.

I'm glad we live in a society where nutters can burn books to make some retarded point. Even if the only point is to show how nutty they are.

Conquest of the Americas- 15 million

That is an incredibly conservative estimate, probably 50-100 million if you include disease much of which was spread deliberately.

And it's not including any of the Christian vs Christian wars in Europe. eg. WW-I

[MikeH]

Yeah, after America finished securing its place as a powerful country through conquest, genocide and enslavement, it cleaned up its act and started condemning others who attempted to do the same.

Hey! Most of that conquest, genocide and enslavement was us Brits! Before they had a tax sulk.

You lot claim the credit for everything.

Not sure what you mean by that. I don't have anything against Japanese people. It's not like anybody in Japan today did any of those things.

You say that as if people are responsible for the things that their ancestors did. They aren't.

More proof that they're the religion of tolerance and peace. We should burn 100 Qurans for every person killed. Let's see how much in human lives that's worth. How can anyone take them seriously. They are just savages. Now for those that say it's just a minority. I haven't seen the majority protesting against those actions yet. Yet a majority of Americans have said the guy is a jerk.

What makes it even worse is that they killed people who never even touched the Quran. Idiots.

So there's no need for you to boast about how noble you think America was during WWII, is there, since you weren't around then?
