What a load of trash. Why are Africans listed alongside other religions, as though Africans are not Christian or Muslim?
You list Chrstians, Buddhists, and Hindus as those Africans cannot be any of the three. Such ignorance is disgusting. Africa is a continent. Muslims make up 45% of Africa, and Christianity around the same percentage.
You're the one who is ignorant.
Islam was not founded until about 650 A.D. (after the death of Christ.)
North Africa was Christian at that time.
So was most of the Middle East (Byzantium) -- and all of Europe.
YES! THANK YOU for telling us the solution: BARBEQUE THEM! indiscriminately.
Since you're a self-professed Christian perhaps you can tell us where/what Jesus ever said that would support nuking 1,000,000,000+ people?
This is war, in case you didn't realize it. Shall we just refuse to defend ourselves and let our enemies conquer not only other nations, but ours as well? Jesus never taught that.
I always love it when someone who isn't even a believer, and doesn't know Jesus, tries to throw Jesus name out in a mocking way.

No, we fought a revolution to escape the rule of the King, and our system was set up as a "citizen government," where the people have a right to freedom of religion and speech. Where do you find that the revolution was fought to "escape religious B.S.," as you put it? Where did you study American History? The founders and framers were God fearing Christians ("Bible thumpers" to you). And those who came to America did so to escape persecution and religious freedom, not to escape religion.
Some state Constitutions required that anyone seeking office must profess their faith in Jesus Christ. That doesn't sound to me like anyone was trying to escape "religious B.S."
Your understanding of American history is sadly lacking, and very wrong.
I guess it's good to conveniently ignore the parts of the past that don't suit your agenda too, eh?
We are in the year 2016. What Christians did in the 11th or 16th or 19th century is history. To be remembered, but not relevant to now except to Islamophiles.

Jihadi-sympathizing leftists just can't help themselves.
It seems as though both sides in this discussion are wrong and misinformed.
1) Yes Islam justifies extremists and implores jihad. Doesn't matter if it is Sunni or Shiite.
2) Their aim is a worldwide Caliphate and to usher in Armageddon.
3) Every Muslim is NOT a threat. Many do not know their history and have been taught a very simplistic and "dumbed down" version of Islam.
4) Islam does not encourage questions from their followers.
5) MOST Muslims in the West CAN be reached. There are many who condemn the actions of the extremists and they are ripe to be led to the Truth.
6) We need Christians to exemplify courage and love towards our Muslim brothers. The more hate you spew towards them, the more you play into the hands of the extremists and confirm that we are ungodly infidels.
To be fair, self professed Christians tortured, killed, enslaved non-Christians over the centuries throughout the world.
Just ask anyone who is familiar with the history of the Jews, or example ... massacres, Crusades, pogroms, burnings, genocide of Jewish men, women and children. Destruction of synagogues, theft of property, banishment and expulsion.
When I was in Sri Lanka, for example, I learned the locals memorialize the near genocide of the otherwise peaceful Buddhist population and the desecration of their holy shrines and temples by Christian missionaries.
to be fair, point out exactly where any non-islamic group is currently killing people on a daily bases....TODAY...
Thank you for your moral equivalence
