Actually its called much of modern day Sub Saharan Africa. Basically all the evangelical crazies who had trouble promoting their ideas about demons, witches and spiritual warfare in the United States went to various parts of Africa and evangelized.
That is why you have large scale witch hunts throughout Sub Saharan Africa and why much of Sub Saharan Africa has steep criminal penalties for being gay.
It might go a long way to explain why out of nowhere South African men are raping infants at an alarming rate. Faux religious crazies seem to leave a mess everywhere they go.

Agreed. Now what meaning does that have when monks/ priests in Bethlehem are fighting over splinters and demented concepts of supremacy displacing sound theology? Christians are not innocent. Palestinian police having to break up the scuffles of (c)hristian clergy???
Not up on your history? Start with the crusades and work forward. For some reason Christians have been going after Islam.
Pardon... They're both guilty. The only reason you're aware of the guilt of Christians is because they were brutally honest about their crimes. Islam has made no effort to be intellectually honest. Therein lies the other history lesson.
Your grievances against Christianity have more to do with the treachery that had assaulted (and became entrenched within) Christian doctrine. They did the best they could at the time and addressing your criticism at what you perceive to be treachery will serve to make them better Christians. Carrying on with buckshot criticism tactics mirrors the behavior of wrathful God authoritarians you're at issue over.
Erycha Badu was to perform a concert in the strict Muslim nation of Malaysia. However, a magazine published photos of her showing a tattoo of the word Allah. For this, the concert was canceled and protest have already begun because of her "Insult to Islam".
You sorta missed the mark, I have no problem with Christians, I'm married to one, my beef is with the holier than thou BS coming from them. My beef is with a tiny faction of them that feel their beliefs supersede the rights of everyone else. I believe you live and let live. Enjoy your beliefs but don't shove them into the faces of everyone you see all day long.

Perhaps you could point out one Muslim concert goer who was going to riot and kill someone b/c of a tatoo? No? Thought as much.
But there are plenty of "Christians" who would riot and kill someone b/c they want to worship they way they want, when they want, where they want.
Go Figure.
When is the last "Christian Crusade" you've heard of?? I hear of Christians being killed in Africa and Muslim nations all the time. I'm interested in your answer........

Tell me again about this religion of peace?
When I first read the title, I thought this was in the bible belt.

The largest riot in history was started by Christians, over 30,000 were killed over five days.
