No, can't say I have. I'll have a look though.

Jordan is a good example. They cited in the Koran where ISIS murder of the Jordanian pilot goes against Islam, so does the hatefulness of Westboro go against christianity.

I love the idea of a national prayer breakfast with politicians.
Really? Because numerous polls from various Islamic countries show that the majority of the population in those countries want Sharia Law imposed worldwide--which is the goal of ISIS.

BHO's right - Christians killed 270 millions over 1400 years of jihad.
Oh, my mistake, that's ISLAM, not Christianity.
. . .
POLITICAL ISLAM
Tears of Jihad (1400 years and counting)
Kafir Deaths (cumulative)
Christians : 60 million
Buddhists : 10 million
Hindus : 80 million
Africans : 120 million
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Total : 270 million
Source : Political Islam - Islam's ideology about unbelievers, Kafirs
(Not to mention the millions captured, enslaved and abused.)

There are active Christian terrorists groups in Africa, India, among other places. Just an important detail some of you are missing (there's a strong only the Western Christian countries vs. only the Middle Eastern Muslim countries theme going on here).

If we're doing historical comparisons they are both pretty equally ****ed up. How about those Crusades eh? Or that political Christianity in the West all the way up to the 1800s (and even later to an extent)? Or all those terrorist groups like the KKK as mentioned earlier?

Edit: Read more and I notice this has already been said.

Kind of weird how some of you will say 'well they're just extremists not real Christians' but not extend the same logic to Muslims.

The statement he made displayed a complete lack of understanding.

There was no USA during the crusades. Such foolishness.

There was one during:

Slavery, backed by Christian beliefs

The Klan Attacks in the name of Christianity

Abortion bombings and killings

Come to think of it are the Catholics and the Protestants still at each other throats?

Millions have died in the name of religion at different periods of time, and one is no better than another. Those Terrorist are not true Muslims nor or they followers of Islam no more are the people who kill abortion doctors.

Either you are too young to understand why it was necessary or you really don't care, but let me help you out. If blacks were separate but really equal, no one really would have cared, but of course you knew this didn't you? Blacks did not and in some cases still do not have the same standard of living as whites so instead of demanding something that would never happen, integration was the next best thing.

I'm not sure if this is a serious post or how it replies to what I've stated. I have no desire to live with, around, or amongst Europeans or European descendents. What I was saying is I can't understand why Martin Luther King apparently did. As far as standards of living go, I have found that that's an arbitrary term used by people of West European descent in order to make themselves feel superior, same with your peoples' use of the term 3rd world. If you guys need such validation, then have at it with your "studies". If at all possible I try not to argue with self loving West Europeans, because there's no reasoning with you people.
