Therefore Muslims are victims and consequently THE GOOD GUYS. And being nasty to the good guys isn't fair, even if they are doing exactly the same, or worse things, than the nasty Christians, because if they aren't THE GOOD GUYS then it means the Christians must be THE GOOD GUYS and we will all look very stupid.

Muslims get bombed so they are nice. OUR SYMPATHIES SHOULD BE WITH THE MUSLIMS.

"EVIL" AND "GOOD" ARE ATTRIBUTABLE ONLY TO CATEGORIES, NOT BEHAVIOURS.

The End.

2. Imagine no religion ...

Ahhhhhh.

Can you imagine how much better off this planet would be if Bronze Age people had not pulled the Big Three paternalistic monotheisms out of their ... uh ... air?

3. 1000+^^^^. Spot on to root of problem. Primitive ideas resisting modern world

4. Oh! You horrible, bigotted, islamophobic, bigotted, racist, prejudiced person, you!

I got lots of synonyms and pseudosynonyms for "prejudiced" in there, that means I'm a PROPER lefty.

Anyway, I like some religions, the ones I don't like are the ones where God is a Prime Deliverer of Morality, which is actually relatively recent and mostly a problem with yer Abrahamic types.

So. There ya go. But, yeah. Lots of stupid people having religion instead of a life. Not good.

5. They are both part of the same thing.

Not just that they are both Abrahamic religions but fundie Islam and fundie Christianity are bankrolled by the same people or at least people who are allies. They both feed off each other and serve to pit the rest of us against each other.

7. You are correct.

The left's refusal to acknowledge the dehumanising horror of fundamentalist Islam is sickening.

[CJCRANE]

9. I don't think anyone is apologizing for fundamentalism.

But to see the problem as being only on one side is to have a blind spot to how fundamentalism on both sides depends on each other and has reinforced each other.

[sibelian]

10. Who is doing the bankrolling?

?

[CJCRANE]

12. Western governments and their allies have supported toppling secular leaders

and are openly supporting religious fundamentalists to do it.

But they claim to be spreading "liberal democracy".

But we (the voters) never signed on for that.

6. fundies of all types are losers - simple and sweet

8. To this sentiment, I shall raise my glass.

THAT is the way to put it.
