Although I am pretty hostile to most any organized religions including the useless "Christian" churches and child chasing Catholic churches, the one religion that is the most barbaric in terms of its philosophy of mass bloodshed, oppression and killing is the religion of Islam.
It has become clear to me that this religion and its followers are blood thirsty jackals for the most part. And today when I heard that the killer at Ft Hood was a Muslim who had praised suicide bombers in the past, I said "no surprise there".
The Christian nutcases are a mere nuisance when compared to the Muslim nutcases. The Catholics might molest children but it takes real lust for blood to strap a bomb on a kid and send him to his death - which a Muslim can justify if he can kill a few Jews while blowing himself up.

If you were in need, you might find those Christians far more useful.
In 2000, by 25 percentage points, the religious people were more likely to give than secularists, the 27% of Americans who attend less than a few times per year, or have no religion. Religious people gave nearly four times more dollars per year, on average, than secularists.
Women are more generous than men, studies have shown. Older people give more than younger donors with equal incomes. The working poor, disproportionate numbers of which are recent immigrants, are America's most generous group, according to Arthur Brooks, the author of the book "Who Really Cares," an analysis of U.S. generosity.
Faith probably matters most, Brooks — who's the president of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative Washington policy-research organization — said in an interview. That's partly because above-average numbers of poor people go to church, and church attenders give more money than non-attenders to secular and religious charities, Brooks found.
I would agree except for the strange silence I hear from Muslims when a Muslim blows up a building or a school bus full of kids.
I agree with this statement. In Iraq, it was commonplace to have rocks thrown at us by kids as we passed through, but always in the back of your mind was the possibility that some whack had loaded up his nephew with a bookbag full of explosives and sent him on a mission. The radical Muslims know no boundaries. We must never forget that.
There is undoubtedly a spasm of militancy going through the ranks of Islam that is seducing its more socially and intellectually vulnerable into performing or having sympathy toward terrorist actions. Anybody with half of a brain can see that. It could also be argued that Christianity experienced such a spasm during the Crusades when waves of armed men stormed the Holy Land in an attempt to liberate it.
I do not agree with Islam or its pernicious hold on many countries and many people's minds in our modern world. While this is not a condemnation of all Muslims, it is a declaration of wariness on my part.

How many Muslims do you speak to on a daily basis? I just sat through a 40-minute rant by a Muslim colleague (while I was trying to do homework) against the very idea of the Muslim Brotherhood being allowed to participate in elections (Thanks a lot, Bush! Moron!) in Egypt, extending into complaints about how Egyptian workers are going to Saudi Arabia and Syria where they are inducted into radical Muslim support groups (just like Mexican temp workers in the US being supported by Catholic support groups) and then bringing radical Islam home.
Tomorrow, I'm sure I'm going to get another earful about this too. Before him, it was a South African Muslim complaining about some other regional problem with radical Islamists. I hear plenty of moderate Muslims ranting about the problem groups associated with their religion, just like I hear Christians denigrating the KKK or IRA.
Besides, it's not like there's any real difference between Muslims, Jews, and Christians. They're all the same religion, it's just they pay attention to prophets or god-incarnates from different eras.

Jews and Christians don't fly planes into buildings.
