Lil Bitchiness,Your posted images were very insightful. Because of them, I feel more disrespect towards the majority of Muslims who dwell in the East. However, I still have no resentment towards the majority of Muslims who live here.
Islam in the East is a savage religion...that is very clear. In the West, however, I think we can safely say the fundamentalism of Islam has toned down quite a bit.
Christianity still has a bloodier history than Islam, Lil B....
Yes, [b]TODAY
Islam is the bigger threat to Global Peace...but until Muslims succeed in committing a nation wide witch trial, committing national inquisition (not just city-wide), and conquer and rape the culture of numerous nations....it still doesn't accomplish the collective horrors that the Christian Church has.

Lu,
I promise you, Islam does have bloodier history - and you know which part makes it just that much bloodier?
India.
Islamic invasion of India has seen death of 100 million Hindus. 😖 With the Entry of Arabians to India, Delhi was cleared within a matter of a day. Not a dog was left a live.
That mounted up to 600, 000 of people in 24h. Crazy.
That articular invasion was the worst because noone was spared.
I swear it is not an overexaggeration, 100 million Hindus have died. Google will explain more.
1.5 million Aramanians (I am not sure if you guys in the USA are following the arguent of acknowledgeent of the genocide in Armania?)
The newest one is in Sudan, Darfur (which you know of anyway), Chechnya, also exterination of Jews and Christians in today's Iran and Iraq.
Today's Middle east was not entiraly pagan, (as im sure you know anyway), the tribes of Jews and Christians lived together.
And in Arabia there was no religious conflict up until Muhammad.
Remember that Nietzsche quote: ''Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.''
I believe this is so true, and can be seen / proven throughout the world.
I feel sorry for Muslims. I feel sorry for those who don't want to do what its been said by their immams, but out of fear for their lives they must.
I feel copassion and sorrow for those who WANT to go and die for Allah because they have been brainwashed for political purpose.
I feel sorry for the children who will grow up to hate. This is what hurts me and scares me even more. Why must we do this?!
It just shows how powerful any idology is with the people. It is actually the ideas of control through Ideology that lead me to learn about Islam.
Also, here is some more info for you, that you might have not known 😮-
Name 'Pakistan' is a direct insult to Indians.
When a Muslim population of India decided they wanted atonomy of the reagon, India allowed, and the Muslims (arab and otherwise) called this country Pakistan.
Paki in Urdu means 'clean', 'stan' (which is same in y language) means a 'place of residence'...to be loosely translated. So that kind of implies that all Hindu's are dirty.
The point is, I feel sorry for the Muslims in the Middle East. And ost of all, I feel sorry for those who out of fear for their life go along to do things they would never have done so.
As far as Christianity goes - to be honest, I never really cared for it. Much like you guys in the USA are not affected by Islam, as much as we are - in the east we are not affected negatively by Christianity as such.
We had too much to worry regarding Islaic invasion, that there is no recorded Church ordered killing in Eastern Christian religion.
This is one of the reason I get angry when people brand ''all christians' to have been doing this.
Copts and Orthodox do not fit in majority of Western Christian deonination categories - such as wich triels for example or the nuerous excommunications and other random things as such.
Also, as you may already know, for the Eastern Christians Pope is not a head nor is he regarded as such.
Eastern Orthodox and Copts have this whole thing about
''everyone is made in the image of god, not matter how bad, and thus everyone deserves respect a basic human right because they are made in the image of god'' or something like that...
To Quote the Orthodox views -
''The "image of God," is the commonly held nature of all human beings. Though sin has had its impact upon human nature, so that all of our faculties are in some measure darkened and distorted, the Orthodox see human beings as still possessing a strong residue of the God-given likeness which is the essence of our humanity. Our intelligence, our power of self-determination, our aesthetic sense, our creativity, our moral perception, our integration of the individual and the social into our personhood, and numerous other characteristics provide manifestations of such likeness.
Since all people share in the divine image, all persons enjoy a basic and fundamental human dignity before God, simply because they are human. As a result, God treats people with a fundamental dignity and respect, and expects that people will treat each other in the same way''
I coped that from a radnom Orthodox website...
I guess I should have taken into consideration that Christianity in the West has not been ever so kind. My appologies.
I should have taken into understanding different historical approaches.
