Hyperbolic title sure but it gets the point across and to be fair worse things have been said on this forum about Christianity.
Afghans angry over the burning of a Quran at a small Florida church stormed a U.N. compound in northern Afghanistan on Friday, killing seven foreigners, including four Nepalese guards.

Afghan authorities suspect insurgents melded into the mob and they announced the arrest of more than 20 people, including a militant they suspect was the ringleader of the assault in Mazar-i-Sharif, the provincial capital of Balkh province. The suspect was an insurgent from Kapisa province, a hotbed of militancy about 250 miles (400 kilometers) southeast of the city, said Rawof Taj, deputy provincial police chief.

The topic of Quran burning stirred outrage among millions of Muslims and others worldwide after the Rev. Terry Jones' small church, Dove Outreach Center, threatened to destroy a copy of the holy book last year. The pastor backed down but the church in Gainesville, Florida, went through with the burning last month.
I hate all religions. Every single one is absolute shit and corrosive to the human spirit. But out of all the religions and belief systems in the world Islam is the absolute worse. No other religion, nowadays, creates or is used as an excuse for human suffering as much as Islam is.

The dumbass Lotta Drool may have had a point about the differences between religions even if he was just trolling. I'm willing to bet anything that if the U.S. had invaded Bolivia and then some dipshit Southerner set a Catholic bible on fire and and posted it on the internet the Bolivians wouldn't have rioted and killed 7 random innocent people. And Bolivia is the least developed country on an entire continent of poorly developed states so you can't blame poverty.

I know the history of Islam and everything that came out of the Islamic Golden Age and how the Crusades and Mongol conquest ended it and everything but honestly Islam stopped contributing to the Earth in the 1300's. I don't see why saying Islam is shit is such a huge taboo in the world and people label you a racist or islamophobic if you even mention how terrible it is.

I eat a lot of Arabic food, one of my best friends is Iranian, I lost my virginity to a Jordain girl, if I let my hair grow a little too much I get mistaken for being Arabic and have been on the receiving end of anti-Arabic sentiment, I really can't stress enough how I have nothing against middle easterners but honestly, the dominant religion in that area needs to die if the area ever wants to go anywhere.

you mean after all the shit that has been done in the name of Islam over the past decade, THIS is what it took to convince you that, hey, Islam isn't very peaceful after all?

I never get tired of the irony of watching Muslims turn violent in protest of being depicted as violent. Only thing more entertaining is reading  people on this board talking about "it is only a few".  You guys gotta be running out of fingers to plug the holes in that bursting dam of a "few" violent Muslims.

Catholics have blown up ten times as many Brits as muslims have.

I'd say Catholicism has had at least as nasty an effect on the world as Islam, but really all these prehistoric religions are obsolete and we'd be better off without them.

Islam = third world religion.  Christianity = first world.

Thats why one is "violent" and one is not.  Throw any religious person into a shithole war torn country, teach them nothing but poverty, oppression, murder, rape, violence, and in Afgahnistan, make them all opium addicts.  Oh, and also forget to educate them.  Then burn the symbol of one of the only things they have, their religion.  Outcome is going to be the same, every time.

I've been saying this for a while now on here and to me it makes perfect sense.  You cannot just point to someone's faith and say that is why they are acting certain ways.  The Muslims in Saudi Arabia who have oogles of billions of oil dollars living in mansions made of gold hardly seem to care about this Florida guy burning a Koran.  See my point?

'in god we trust' was not on all the money in the infancy of the USA, it crept in as more people forgot the founding ideals of the USA
the original pledge of allegiance did not refer to god, it was added as more people forgot the founding ideals of the USA

it is not a coincidence that the founding fathers excluded religion from the constitution. that is not to say they were not religious people but they represented so many different versions of christianity that allowing one faction to gain power over the rest through subversion of the constitution drove them to specifically not bring religion in to the constitution.

in marked contrast, the states, being insular regions of religious groups, almost all have a reference to religion in their state constitutions and indeed in some states you cannot hold public office or offer sworn testimony if you do not profess a belief in god.

Don't bother, I've been trying to make this point for years but its not accepted around here. No sir it has to be the damn religion. Not to mention that removing a religion by force is literally impossible.

This has been said repeatedly, by many different posters, Uzique.

And Stubs, the GWB allusion is simply wrong. Too many take words he said out of context, as well as dismiss the overall national security decision-making process that the entirety of government must go through to take the US to war. It's not a one-man show.
