This guy deserves a thorough dissection. I've only got time for one part of it, though:

Anyone who is religious should be very careful about saying something like this, because, throughout history, more killings have been done in the name of religion than of anything else.

False. The greatest mass murders in history have been perpetrated by the godless (atheistic communists).

What's going on in the Middle East...

Islamofascists are trying to dominate.

... and what happened in Serbia...

Islamofascists tried to dominate.

... and Northern Ireland?

There! Christians were murdering each other.

What was the Inquisition about...

Purging Moors and their sympathizers from the halls of Spanish government.

... and the Crusades...

Pushing the Muslims out from the land they conquered and subjugated.

... and the slaughter following the partition of India?

Islamofascists tried to dominate.

----------------

There's a common thread throughout his examples that's hard to get a grasp on...

You're joking right? You're justifying the Inquisition and all that?

"Islamofascists tried to dominate."

All of the instances you mentioned to be Islamofascist are religiously based. Coyne said 'religious', not 'Christian'.

In any case the use of perpetrated evils in no way affects the validity of science and should not be used by either side.

True. Atheist communists murdered more people in the 20th century than have Christians in 20 centuries, or Jews in all history. So far, Muslims do not begin to compare to the communists, but jihadist Muslims seem to be the greatest problem today.
