Stampede in Mecca kills 717.

Some of your comparisons are bizarre.

The Koran clearly references acts that defy any Christian ideals. I could enumerate them but they all involve eliminating non believers.

A moderate muslim will/can become radical at a moments notice hinging on the size of the threat to him/her and his/her family. Ever heard of "terror"?

Um, there are plenty of things in the Bible that are 'clearly stated' that I'm certain you don't follow.

Why is there a difference in your mind?

Try to stay within the scope of one religion (islam) wanting to eliminate/remove any "competition" to their ideals/philosophy......will ya?

I don't claim to be a biblical scholar and I bet you aren't either but I'm reasonably sure the Bible doesn't extoll some of the violent acts described in the Koran.

Last I heard, the Bible encourages temperance not gangland style slaughter/terror.

Let me know if I'm wrong. Thanks.

You're wrong. You're welcome.

Maybe it needs to happen more often?

Crusades?

 

[MrFedEx]

Crusades?

Facts confuse them. Anything to bring a heathen to Christ is justified, even if it would be an abomination to Jesus himself.

Meanwhile back in the desert the Arabs were eating their dates.

 

[FatherBrown]

Crusades?

The Crusades were a defensive response to hundreds of years of siege laid on Europe, and isn't even a drop in the hat to all the lives slaughtered in the name of Islam since Mohammed.

So, a very peaceful event, right? Amazing.

Let's see, the Pope is canonizing a Spanish missionary (Junípero Serra) who developed the systems and the machinery, so to speak, that killed over 150,000 natives in what is now called California.

It get's tricky keeping score about which type of Religion kills more than the other.

I think it's safe to say...RELIGION KILLS!

 

[FatherBrown]

What about Mao and Stalin? What religion were those guys??

Maybe you should take a look at the Old Testament.

So, does that mean you're not signing up for the CA. mission tour this Oct. ???

I wish there were more Muslim holidays in Mecca. One a week would be nice.

 

[trickpony1]

Maybe I missed it but I don't know of any events recently where Christians flew passenger jets (with passengers) into buildings, beheaded people, threw people off buildings, hung people, burned people alive or put people in cages and drown them. I could be wrong.

Let's try to stay in the "here and now".....some people want to deflect to the Crusades which happened a number of years ago.

Maybe some of these clowns at Madison Square Garden fawning over The Pope will get trampled today. It's funny how the right isn't whining about the extra cost of security.
