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

He did. However, not all religions are the same. He said that Ann was wrong that the greatest number of deaths throughout history could be laid at the feet of atheistic communists. He said the greatest bloodshed was due to religion. He's right only if he considers the atheists' struggle against other religions in his calculus and proves Ann's point in the process.

If you read his "work" again you will see that he attempts to equate all religions, including Christianity, in his blood liable. I was simply showing that if he wants to talk religious bloodshed, not all religions are equal.

I agree.

My point is that attributing horrific habits to a specific group during a debate about science is nonsensical. Humans, whether atheistic or religious have in the past and will continue to kill other humans based on any number of closely held and probably erroneous reasons.

I would prefer that the argument between Evolution and Creation avoid such obviously pointless arguments.

In my opinion, comparing numbers of deaths devalues the lives of all who died.
