It's not really equivalent to be honest. His argument is that you can't read the Bible and see "Kill and subjugate everyone different from you" (I have no idea whether or not this claim is true) in its pages, but you apparently can in the Quran (might have misspelled that).
Christians did indeed do such a thing, but there's allegedly nothing within Christian teachings that told them to. It was circumstantial.
With Islam, apparently their beliefs hold this to be an encouraged practice. If all this is so, Christianity and Islam are not equivalent, and to compare them to try and defend Islam is a fallacy tbh.
I'm not defending Islam, I'm saying historically Christians have been shitty.
I mean if you look at some of the "Christians" on this forum who seem to lack any sort of empathy for other people who don't share their views/backgrounds...
Edit: Also while I doubt Jesus preached anything like that, in the Old Testament there are examples where the Jews' religion and connection with God give them a free pass to do some really nasty shit to neighboring tribes and nations.
Originally posted by Omega VisionYeah, but so what? That doesn't actually refute the point that Islam is inherently shitty, or even inherently shittier than Christianity.

Yeah Star is a white trash xenophobic conspiracy theorist, we all know that.
That's true IIRC (I have never read the Bible, it was boring as shit, would rather read Lord of the Rings estahuh), and is a more valid way of comparing the two.
