I find it funny that whenever terrorists run through streets in Paris, throw planes into buildings and beheads reporters in the name of Allah, someone finds relevance talking about "Christian Army of God in Africa"As anyone from Africa knows. God left Africa long time ago.
This has been like the fifth discussion where we are discussing somone killing in the name of Allah and someone wants to talk about Christians in Africa.
Get on point.
Technically the Army of God I was talking about is American based.
Regardless the reason people bring up the Christian groups that support injuring or murdering other people is to counter certain arguments. Mostly people that come in and make broad sweeping remarks on all Islamic people or groups. The point of bringing up the Christian bad groups is to draw parallels between the two. So that people may understand that making such broad non-backed statements is not productive.
Basically you are judging Islam on the actions of a few groups, yet you can do the same to those you claim to be Christians. You can do it with basically any grouping whether by nationality, ethnicity, religion, or favorite sports team. Most people choose to bring up Christianity is because it is often most relatable as a topic to people making the claim of Islam is all or the worst by showing hey you guys have no right to make such claims.
I can spell it out for you though.
The are many groups that identify as Islamic that are not good and need to be dealt with. But much like most groups, simply trying to demonize the whole of Islam based on the few often just leads to bad blood among the numerous groups that identify as Islamic that either would side with us, or just don't care. You've now would have alienated those friendly or could be friendly groups so I'm glad you are not running our responses on these matters.
