I'm on my phone so excuse the lack of a works cited page.
Add to the fact that America is vastly Christian, and the incarceration rate for Christians is much higher than Muslims or atheists, and it's a pretty clear conclusion.
I'd love to see facts proving otherwise.
Yeah, that first link seems kind of whacky to me. The second one is unconvincing.
The fact the America is vastly Christian seems only to do with numbers, i.e. there are more of them, so that doesn't equate to a clear conclusion at all.
I just did a cursory search on Christian terrorism in the U.S. A lot of religious based sites, and liberal sites that defend Islam is about all I could come up with this quick. So I'll do some research. I think the jury is still out on this issue, though.
BTW, not a Christian, although I was brought up as one. Religion just doesn't float my boat, although I'm interested in it from a secular point of view.
Just wondering why so many liberals hate socially conservative Christians. Yet at the same time don't feel the same way towards Muslims,who want to murder gays and believe we should follow Sharia law.
If you are trying to make a case for your argument you might want to rethink your strategy a bit.
And talk about a war on women! I think the mullahs give instructions on how to beat wives without bruises and other marks showing.
Actually, Islam doesn't condone beating women at all. There are however certain Arab cultures that do condone beating women, therefore, people tend to believe it's the Islamic faith and not the specific group culture.
Actually, there's a big variety of beliefs about gay marriage within Christian denominations, ranging from ordaining gay ministers and marrying gay couples to believing that they're all going to burn in hell. Christianity isn't one unified group on lots of issues, and it never has been. Sometimes I think the only thing we all have in common is Jesus, and even then there seems to be a big difference between groups on how his gospel is interpreted and lived.
I agree there are certainly different denominations, but overwhelmingly most Christians believe that homosexuality, adultery, fornication, murder, etc are grave sins.
Do you honestly think that New York is 100% liberal?
New York is the largest conservative city in the country. Find another city with more Romney voters! The percentage might be small within the city, but it being the largest city makes for many Republicans.
Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.

Don't look now, but those two fundie groups are entirely interchangeable, and have the same goals...

New York is the largest liberal city too because it is the largest city in this country.
