I'm pointing one out because radical Islam is the only "radical" Religion which causes trouble in many places in the world. Radical can also apply to Judaism and Christianity. But those radicals are generally harmless compared to radical Islam.

It's one of the oldest. You are right Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism are older.

So, Christianity isn't as mature as Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism. Is that acceptable argument?

I'm not prejudiced. I never referred to all of Islam. I referred to radical Islam.

I only detest radical sides of Religion. I don't detest any religion. Don't put words in my mouth.

False.
C's do it all the time. So do Jews.
Harmless? Ask a Palestinian.
What about US soldiers pushing bibles in the middle east?
That's not inciting trouble?

You really need to take your blinders off.
