Which comic books would those be? The newspapers that reported on the events - which Dave himself has previously commented on as well as others and thus knows to be the case - them comic books? If you don't know of which we speak, one wonders if you yourself have been reading comics and missed them.
You are entitled to your opinions. But let's take this one at a time, shall we?
I would loudly question whether Roman Catholic behavior may have anything to do with this. Behavior such as the recorded incidents which occur down in South America where "protestants" are run out of towns, off their lands, ect for merely trying to congregate and build churches.
Re: "Roman Catholic behavior"?
Is there one form of behavior common to all Roman Catholics? I've never noticed that in my experience. All different kinds. The "behavior" of South Americans and Spaniards has a lot more to do with the culture than the Catholic faith. Was the Protestant "behavior" of running Catholics off their land in Ireland something that Protestants would do here if they were allowed to?
Rome as Walter Martin used to say, Is a chamelion that is a different beast on whatever surface you sit it on. They act differently here because they'd never be allowed to get by with the way they act elsewhere.
"They act differently because they'd never be allowed to get by with the way they act elsehwere"? Who is this "they"? Ever heard of the "fallacy of false generalization"? One could say that Protestants here would act like they do in Northern Ireland if they could get away with it. Would ALL Protestants act like Oliver Cromwell and Henry VIII?
It seems clear that you do not have a clue about the situation of Christians in the Islamic world. Making general statements about "Catholics" referring to them as "they" sounds a little like uneducated bigotry. Do most of the people you know talk like this about "Catholics"?
And for those who wish to slap a catholic, take care.
Do you know people who "slap" Catholics? Why would you use that word "slap"? Freudian slip?
Religion involves very controversial and emotively powerful claims about ultimate reality and the meaning of life. Since as far back as the Old Testament people of different beliefs have been fighting one another. Catholics do not hold any monopoly on this. But you should know that. We need to do a better job in this country teaching the history of Christianity and its role in world civilization. A little less of those anti-Catholic liberal secular humanist public schools perhaps.
