  • I'll just bet it was Mormons. God damn Mormon terrorists

  • Bet it was the Pentecostal denomination. Probably the Southern branch snake handlers and blue jean skirt MFers.

  • It's like a point is attempted to be made in another thread, and it goes right by everyone...

    But no, it is cool. You're all being clever. Gosh darn it.

  • He's ready to make a quick buck

  • and yes, this is terrible. and yes, ISIS needs to be stopped. I know if I don't explicitly state that it means I'm a terrorist sympathizer

    Besides the fact that I'm sure "Conservaedia" is a 100% accurate and legitimate source...

    What exactly is the point you are trying to make here?

  • fair and balanced, like Fox News.

    We were joking about all sorts of other religions, and I

    just thought the atheist "religion" should be included....

  • Screw denominations... i think it's time to ban all airports. How many people have died at airports this year?

    That's fair. You kind of misses on the humor part though.

  • Extremism exists in religion as a whole. I believe the high number of Muslim extremists has to do with the environment than the specific book they read. Africa is shitty and there are violent Christian extremists there.

    That other thread also showed how some distinguish between Christians and "Christians", but not with Islam.

    Refugees and native born people are turning to terrorism. They are not currently or have never lived in these environments that supposedly are more to blame for the extremism yet they turn in that direction. The only thing they have in common is that they read the same specific book.

    Islam has never experienced a 'new testament' moment. If the Bible was only made up of the Old Testament, you would very likely see way more Christian extremists. However, the New Testament introduced the hippy son who preached peace. The Quran was written by one guy during his life time. There is no loose interpretation of what he meant. Any clarification needed was covered by the Hadith shortly after Muhammad's death. The scholars who knew Muhammad confirmed the "sword verses".

    A desert bandit created a religion and people are shocked when the believers are more apt to kill others. The believers who are chill are great. But at the heart of it, there should be no confusion. It is a violent religion.

  • Pew research says the radical ideas don't only exist in modern western countries, but they are even more widely believed among younger people which means they're getting more extreme.

  • Desert bandit is the single most apt description i have ever read as describing mohammed, so well done....its exactly what he was.

    no, that is incorrect. Extremism exists in the greed and evil of those who are sick enough to embrace it.

    nazis hideous violence - not religious.

    drug cartel hideous violence - not religious

    communists and socialists hideous violence - not religious (stalin, mao, mussolini for examples)

    kkk hideous violence - not religious

    illegal immigrants hideous violence - not religious

    You have to differentiate between random occurences of inividual hideous violence... and mass cultural

    movements' hideous violence.

    A dr, layer, preacher, whoever can commit hideous violence.

    But that isn't a mass cultural movement like some of examples I gave above. And religion isn't a common

    factor of extremism.
