Serious - that old argument.

Show me a Christian/Jew/Buddhist throwing acid on a woman because her ankles show.

Show me a Christian/Jew/Buddhist killing someone for apostasy.

Show me a Christian/Jew/Buddhist terror training camp.

Show me a Christian/Jew/Buddhist suicide bomber.

Q. The majority of the worlds daily violence occurs in what type of country?
Q. What religion still today continues to have followers who keep slaves?

A. Islam

Christians enslaved people in this country for almost 500 years
After they had already been enslaved by Arab Slavers or another more powerful black tribe. Blacks and Arabs were just as complicit as Europeans in the slave trade. Anyways, hate on...

Yes, the pastor/chaplain nailed it correctly.

And before you cite evidence of Muslims committing terrorism, I can do the same with Christians doing the same including the the slaughter of 30,000 Bosnian Muslims by Christian Serbs on the basis of ethnic cleansing. This took place in the early 1990's so this wasn't 50 years ago.
Wasn't done due to religion. It was for revenge. Bosnians had participated in an attempted genocide on the Serbs so it was easy to rally the people against them.

For historical accuracy the Catholic Church killed the people using contract labor. The priests were forbidden to actually perform the executions so they had others get their hands dirty.

Not that simple. The secular authorities had their own agenda and likely would have killed the people regardless of whether or not the Church sought out heretics.

Go to a country dominated by Muslims and you will find otherwise. Some lay a special tax upon non-Muslims.

And in other News - Today it was revealed the President Obama gets his weather forecasts from meteorologists who say "The Sky is Blue". More on this outrage in our next segment.......

Can someone please tell me of something in Islam that is not punishable by death??

Just look at these:

1. Switch to Christianity

2. Criticize the Koran

3. Draw a picture of Mohamed

4. Criticize Islam

5. Woman gets raped......she get the execution

6. Homosexuality

7. Pass out Bibles in an Islamic country


All of these things you die for in Islam. And don't say they don't happen all the time............everywhere. Even in the U.S.

WHY?
