(2,500 posts)Christians, Jews, and Buddhists do not make a habit of killing their daughters for out of wedlock affairs. If they do, it sure isn't publicized.
You tell me to look at other religions to prove your point and I have and I cannot. I don't find the same thing. I don't find them strapping vest bombs to their children to kill the heretics or whatever they call us western non-islamists.
Then don't use the religious right has your cover. The religious right are indeed a bunch of fanatical zealots themselves and they have been guilty of some terrible individual terrorist acts. I don't think that they represent more than a tiny fraction of Christians at large, however.
Look, you made a few good points. We need to disengage militarily from their region. I agree with that. But, you are going way over the edge in comparing Islam with any other religion in regards to fanaticism. They are the ultimate ultra-fanatics of a religion, which already sanctions their methods and actions as being allah-approved. I simply am saying we should leave them alone to their atrocious religion, live and let live on the earth with them, but not encourage them in any conceivable gesture. How can we given their rigid, non-tolerant, uncompromising Islamic religious fervor.
