"It appears that nobody can name any recent history of Christian atrocities, but that everybody can name dozens of recent muslim atrocities. If we want to go back into history we can see that this is an old pattern. Peter. Everybody can name dozens of atrocities committed by Muslims and lots of heinous and brutal injustices committed by governments run by Muslim tyrants. Recent history? Yes, recent history and in current events. We can all name them because we have good reason to, we are at war with Islamic terrorists so we shine our light on these atrocities to raise general awareness. Why couldn't people name dozens of events like that that 40 years ago? Have the cultures suddenly changed that much? No. People who are prejudiced against America like to point out the escalating levels of sexual perversion, violent crimes, and social disfunction committed by Christians, in a Christian America and elsewhere in the world but the West controls Western media and those same view points are not expressed in our media... at least those same attributions aren't made. I find that just as offensive as what you are doing today. In general I expect that kind of unjust finger pointing between competing groups. Where there are brutal and heinous crimes or any injustice, for that matter, we should all join in condemning it ... each and every one of them regardless of the perps demographic or our own affiliations. The discussion you and c2 are bolstering is an attempt to implicate all Muslims as co-conspirators with the most heinous acts imaginable. That is a different matter entirely. It is bigotry and you will never justify it in a reasoned discussion among decent people. Best regards, gem
