1968-1998 The Troubles N. Ireland. Irish Catholic Nationalsits (IRA) fought Unionist Protestants (UVF) in one of the worst bouts of sectarian (ie religious) violence in contemporary history. 3,530 were killed and there were over 50,000 casualties overall. Belfast was turned into a veritable war zone and the conflict spilled over to Scotland (rangers-celtic, anyone?)

Let's not forget the Christian anti-balaka rebels attempting to overthrow the government in The CAR and commuting numerous atrocities against Muslim civilians and Christians aligned with the government.

Or rebel leaders across Africa (Congo, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and others) who often used religious pretext to justify atrocities against different religious and ethnic groups.

The killing of gays in Uganda to which the Uganda government, bought off by money from American Evamgelicals turns a blind eye to (in fact Uganda made homosexuality a crime punishable by death)

The murder of legally licensed abortion practitioners in the United States by fundamentalist Christians.


Let's not forget the Crusades, Spanish Inquisition, and the 30 years war in which Christians inflicted mass casualties and atrocities on minority Christian populations, Muslims, and Jews.

But then of course all of these people must not be real Christians, right?

To be honest I have no problem with that line, but only if one acquiesces to right of real Muslims to say the same about extremist elements in their religion.

Were only Christians killed? No.

Were they targeted specifically because they were Christian? No.

What else should we divert to? Jews? Mussolini and atheists? Why stop with the Crusades and meanie Christians? How about those dinosaurs who used to eat each other? And other atrocities before we arrived?
lol. yeah, those dinosaurs render this latest Islamic atrocity moot.

Hitler and the KKK have nothing to do with this topic, all you guys did was fall for some troll who took the thread off topic.

These Taliban are the same subhumans Obama negotiates with.

And the US killed innocent men, women and CHILDREN in Yemen, Afghanistan and Iraq with drones and bombs trying to get one "target", if they got the target at all, or they miscalculated where to drop the drone or bomb.

It's hard to find the number of Iraqis killed but it ranged from 174,000 to 1 million.

The hands of the US are not clean.

Let's not forget Sarajevo - 1992-1995 - when Christians were committing genocide to rid Muslims. Women and girls raped, mass graves of men, women and children, concentration camps and the US did nothing to stop it.

There's a long And relatively recent history of Christian terrorism using bible interpretations to justify behaviors.

How many Christians found it convenient to own slaves? That's OK. The bible acknowledges slavery.

How many Christian churches excluded blacks or required blacks to worship in separate churches, under the supervision of white Christians?

Some Christian denominations excluded blacks.

The original KKK, the night riders, cross burners were all Christians, specifically Protestants.

Lynching versus decapitation?

The Christian churches were interwoven with German nationality that fueled the Holocaust.

Gas chambers for millions versus suicide bombers?

Some Christian sects have no issue with forbidding education, mandating attire and marrying young girls.

The Christian Identity Movement seeks to unite white supremists, in the US.

Somehow most can distinguish between the actions of extremists and mainstream unless the topic is Islam.

So you say.

If you look closely it says "Taliban" in the thread title. No wonder you can't respond with an intelligent answer.

WHY aren't the posters here who tell us ALL Muslims are the very essence of evil expressing their joy that a few more Muslims have been wiped from the earth? WHY do you tell us we should kill them all while whining that someone else has done so for you?
