It appears anyone who doesn't oppose any war is an evil Christian. So go liberal minds anyway.......

How is Christianity peaceful when more people have killed and died in the name of "god" than any other cause?

Do the Crusades ring a bell?

Yes, they're one of the least credible posters here. When someone makes a declaration "I'm proving it!" without even being to present an argument, there's really not even a point to making an effort. The internet brings all kinds

The poll asked about suicide bombings and terrorism broadly - since it did not differentiate between civilian and military targets, the rational would obviously understood this also meant against civilians. If these poll responders only believed that it was acceptable only for military targets, then the correct answer would have been "no."

Amazing how far liberals/the far left will lie, distort, and deflect when cornered and defeated.

The PP was apparently going back to the seventh century to accuse Muslims of the deaths of a hundred million unbelievers, so I was responding in kind. If there is something I'm missing, I'd like to see it.

The Muslim Brotherhood, on the other hand, has more than 2 million members. I read somewhere that there could be as many as 20M radicalized Islamists. I think this is probably low.
How many people have the MB and its direct affiliates killed?

Who is carrying on the Crusades in today's day and age? Do you even know when the crusades took place? You point has none like usual.

Again, you are going back 1000 years, and it was the Muslims who initiated the wars after cutting off access to Christian holy places. Let's stick to recent history, because we are talking about current affairs.

Just because you are assuming a thing does not mean it was actually asked in the poll, nor that it was clear to the people responding.

I have sometimes heard American news commentators refer to non-suicide attacks against Israeli military forces as "terrorism." So let's not pretend there is no ambiguity in the question.

So you go from defending Hitler to defending terrorists. Not a surprise.

The vast majority of American and British pilots, statistically, would've been at least nominal Christians, certainly. I don't know how devout they were, but not all mujaheddin are especially devout either.
