"Avijit was very idealistic," he said. "His understanding was that he wouldn't be killed, that if anyone ever tried to attack him or hated him, that they could just kind of have a chat and he would convince them ... that they could at least have a dialogue."

guess that didn't work out so well.

I'm surprised they used blades instead of bullets. Good Christians over here in the USA prefer bullets.

As someone else mentioned, Mexico is a pretty Christian place and people get decapitated there all the time. So let's assume a whole shitload more than 16, sound good?
-snip-

Fvck, this is stupid.

So now the Mexican drugs cartels are really just Christians following their extreme interpretation of the bible? Carring out the Lord's work, eh. LOL, dumbass.

That wasn't the claim, you must go back a few posts before cyclohexane tried to move the goalpost, or are you trying to do the same?

A true beheading only occurs when a Mosselman does it.

When a Christian does it, it's for business reasons and is slightly more legit.

What the fuck? What goal posts? The fact is that more beheading are done by Muslims in the name of Islam, than by Christians in the name of Christianity.

Here's what you said;
Lets assume there are 1.6 billion Christians. How many of them are beheading civilians? Let's assume 16. That would be 0.0000001% of Christians.

Then you said:
except that cartel killings are business disputes. Not over belief in an imaginary man. Not the same.


Now you say:
The fact is that more beheading are done by Muslims in the name of Islam, than by Christians in the name of Christianity.
See the difference?

Sigh, yet another example of "Here are some Muslims doing a really bad thing; so Islam is a really bad religion."

If you know how statistics work these examples are so numerous that it's impossible not to relate Islam to violence. The link is unequivocal.

Whoa.... there are hundreds of different versions of Islam, just like other religions

lol in comes earl blaming the US for all the world's ills. You've already been disabused of this nonsense. Muslims were massacring people well before the US was even a nation. Please stop. This is an unhealthy fetish you have. It's America's fault this guy was hacked to death in Bangladesh?

So numerous out of a total population of over 1.6 billion people? You're kidding, right?

Funny, you're the first person to bring up that canard.

Don't forget to sweep up all that straw when you're finished.

No, he's not.

Maybe not numerous. But certainly much more than other religions - even though the absolute numbers are still small. That is a cause of concern.

Why can't people just admit that?

And an American killed 8 people in Missouri last night.

Where were apologists like yourselves when abortion clinics were being bombed, gay rights being threatened, gay marriage being opposed, women's rights threatened, school prayer, creationism being forced in schools etc. ,

not there perhaps because in your mind the perpetrators represented all of christianity which you were more than happy to point out to anyone when discussing religion and mocking their beliefs,

yet here you are apologizing/defending one of the most misogynistic, homophobic, anti free speech, anti separation of religion from state, religion there is today,

the very same secular principles/laws which allow you to defend yourself and criticize/mock without fear the very christians you hate,

You call yourselfs liberals but it appears you are nothing more than cowardly fair weather liberals who sing a different tune when confronted with a religion that will slap you down when you mock it, degrade it, criticize it in the same manner you have been doing to christianity,

even to the point of looking to compromise some of the very fundamental rights we enjoy under secularism like freedom of speech,

You are no different than those that blame the women for rape because of the attire they were wearing, the party they went to or the street they chose to walk down.

I don't know where were they? I'm sure you have posts to back up your claim that they were blaming all of Christianity for these attacks.


It would be awesome if just once you retarded righties could create post that didn't involve straw man arguements!

There are 1.6 billion Muslims on the planet, even if you could find 160,000 doing something horrific, it would still be only .01%. No one is saying that the monsters that did this aren't monsters. We're saying that if you try to paint all 1.6 billion people of the religion as monsters, then you're only going to drive more people away from your point of view than towards it.

That's approximately the same percentage of law enforcement officers who make it into forum threads :p

People choose to believe what they want to believe.

So are you claiming bad police officers represent all police and they are all bad?
