It took roughly 1000 years for Christianity to become "militant", so to speak, in the form of the much maligned Crusades. These came about because of the theft of the Holy Land from the Byzantine Empire by muslims, since islam was militant straight out of the box. Anyone who thinks this is a "religion of peace" needs a history lesson.

Next to islam, ignorance is our greatest enemy.
Can you imagine Constantine and the Roman Empire not only accepting, but embracing Christianity if early Christians killed people wholesale and randomly everywhere they went?

Any comparison between the Muslim Mass Murdering faux religion and Christianity is loathsome...

"sent to the countryside for 're-education' by the masses." to cite a Chinese treatment.

Cleaning out some hog wallows and cess pools by the likes of Shrillery and her cohorts and goons might teach them a lot they never had a clue about. It's a nice visual image, anyway. Let Scuba Teddy learn to swim all over again in the cesspools he's helped cause and create in our beloved and beleagured Nation.
