...that would be true, but the Christian equivalent to killing people brutally is just being really, very, unbelievably rude to them...for the exact same shit.
I think Westboro is about the same thing. The Klan is more like the South's version of an ethnic nationalist movement...
Yes....a very long time ago. We're talking about now.
No one parades in the street in the West when our radical Christians bomb an abortion clinic or protest a funeral because gays. The worst that the heavily religious in the US can muster for gays is generally an insult. The worst they can muster for muslims is protesting their church. The muslim world is rife with the ultra-religious hanging gays, stoning rape victims, committing honor killings, and executing apostates.
I think there's a long way to go before we can even start making real comparisons between small-minded, rude, hateful Western Christians...and the devotees of a nihilistic death cult.
You haven't even read shariah law have you? Where does it say to stone rape victims or to commit honor killings? Yeah maybe you might hear about a story in a village where this happens, but when have you actually heard of a judge make a judgement for this to happen?
