I was expecting a post like this.
At no point did I claim that Christians were perfect - we aren't, not by a long shot.
However, that's no excuse for the current attack on Western society the Muslims are inflicting on us now. It's not about Islam attacking Christianity (hell, even today's society does that), but Islam attacking our society through acts of terror - a different ball game.
As for the racism point Lawrence made - in Saudi, Iran and other very Muslim countries, the mere possession of a bible is a crime. There are people on Death Row in Pakistan - for being Christian. Do we give Muslims that kind of treatment here? No we don't. I think a little bit of anger and resentment against those who refuseĀ - violently - to integrate into our society is understandable, if not desirable.
As for bri h's point - I can tell you don't like religion in general, fair enough. I would argue that even without religion, there would still be nutters trying to stir things up. I heavily doubt people "would all get along without religion". Rant over.
