re: Islam is a scourge

So islam just needs 600 more years to reform itself and they'll be a OK people then?

Looking back 600 years at Christianity, my hopes would not have been high for them.

That just tells me you're fully aware that what you see with islam today is what you will see for the rest of your lifetime until the day you die and leave this Earth.

I don't doubt that at all. I don't have even close to 100 years, much less 600.

But are they killing, raping, and slaving people like hardcore islamists?

---

At the moment, no.

quote:

Actually, christianity is responsible for containing the moral excesses of western society and capitalism and keeping it in check.

Delusional or excessively charitable at best. Christianity has been dragged kicking and screaming like a plane passenger into the modern age.

You just cannot be THIS F*CKING STUPID.

It's impossible.


I know more about this than you.

I'm sure you think you do.

Unfortunately for you, your posts betray your complete and utter ignorance.

You didn't get the question. Christianity has got like a 600 year head start on Islam. Go back 600 years and look at what "Christians" were doing.

This is why coffee shops exist. To serve as breeding grounds for utter stupidity like this.

It's a fact.

Yup. That’s how dumb your argument was.

Personal experience can cloud the judgment as much as aid it. You know that intellectually. But can’t make it work here. Breathe in and out and let the cognitive dissonance dissipate

Haha. That's good man.

"being a lifelong professional in the field of counter terrorism can cloud your understanding of terrorism. Take a deep breath and let a bible school teacher explain how only Muslims commit this new phenomenon called terrorism"

Google is at your fingertips. You can find picture and video evidence disproving Sentrius' assertion in less than 15 seconds. You know that already, but it's more fun for you to play games here and pretend like you have anything beyond a cable news understanding of how the rest of the world works.

The first graphic shows the most active regions in terms of total number of terrorist attacks since 1970.  In the 1980s and 1990s, Latin America was the epicenter of global terrorism.  In the first of those two decades, the region experienced more terrorist attacks (17,293) than all other regions combined (13,643), and nearly four times as many as the next most active region—Western Europe (4,729).

Hrm.

war on the rocks



Strange monopoly displayed in graph.

Terrorist violence in Latin America during this period was driven by the campaigns of a number of secular Marxist/Maoist organizations, most notably the Shining Path in Peru, the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) in El Salvador, and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).  Violence dramatically subsided in the mid-1990s, after a number of governments waged successful—and often quite violent—counter-terrorism campaigns.  (On a side note, the graphic also shows the tendency of global terrorism to migrate over time.  As we see in the chart, global terrorism has migrated from Western Europe in the 1970s, to Latin America in the 1980s and 1990s, and to the Middle East and South Asia where it currently resides.)
