"Shapiro said the three major religions — Christianity, Islam and Judaism — were responsible for many more deaths and more oppression than could be attributed to Satanists. Not if one counts Hitler and Stalin as being satanists."

And what evidence or even proof, amazing though it could be, is there that Stalin and Hitler were Satanists -- or more so than others who perverted Christians into doing their slaughtering for them.

On a related note, I wonder if anyone has totaled up all the deaths in the Old Testament since there certainly were a lot of battles and genocidal wars (where entire people's and their cities were obliterated) to make way for God's "chosen people".

Here we go again....

Seriously, these people have no skin. People in the West and all around the globe lose their lives or the lives of their loved ones via the Islamists’ jihad and acts of terror, and they complain when a cartoon is drawn that they deem to be offensive in even the slightest way.

Until they stop blowing people up, they have NO ROOM to whine about “offensive” cartoons.

...oh, by the way; can anyone provide proof that Shapiro’s brain exists?

He says people should take a step back from their religious fervor, yet seems ready to jump up and defend satanists (hence the “more deaths from the big 3 religions than from satanists” line). Isn’t that hypocritical?

Yep, they have a right to be upset. But too many Muslims support using the force of government to ban things they think are offensive or support violence to suppress offensive things.

Muslims do not believe in Government. The only thing they believe they need is blind obedience to the Quran and the Hadith of Muhammed, as the Mullahs interpret it. Its not "government", it's a Islamic Theocracy or a Caliphate.

Theocracy is a form of government. Additionally, the Muslims we are talking about want Western government to use governmental powers to restrict things they find offensive.

Some history may help put things in perspective. The following is from Robert Burton (1577-1640) as he writes of humans warring with each other.

So wars are begun, by the persuasion of a few debauched, hair-brain, poor, dissolute, hungry captains, parasitical fawners, unquiet Hotspurs, restless innovators, green heads, to satisfy one man's private spleen, lust, ambition, avarice, &c.. Proper men, well proportioned, carefully brought up, able both in body and mind, sound, led like so many beasts to the slaughter in the flower of their years, pride, and full strength, without all remorse and pity, sacrificed to Pluto, killed up as so many sheep, for devils' food, 40,000 at once. At once, said I, that were tolerable, but these wars last always, and for many ages; nothing so familiar as this backing and hewing, massacres, murders, desolations -- they care not what mischief they procure, so that they may enrich themselves for the present; they will so long blow the coals of contention, till all the world be consumed with fire. The siege of Troy lasted ten years, eight months, there died 870,000 Grecians, 670,000 Trojans, at the taking of the city, and after were slain 276,000 men, women, and children of all sorts. Caesar killed a million, Mahomet the second Turk, 300,000 persons; Sicinius Dentatus fought in a hundred battles, eight times in single combat he overcame, had forty wounds before, was rewarded with 140 crowns, triumphed nine times for his good service. M. Sergius had 32 wounds; Scaeva, the Centurion, I know not how many; every nation had their Hectors, Scipios, Caesars, and Alexanders! Our Edward the Fourth was in 26 battles afoot: and as they do all, he glories in it, 'tis related to his honour. At the siege of Hierusalem, 1,100,000 died with sword and famine. At the battle of Cannae, 70,000 men were slain, as Polybius records, and as many at Battle Abbey with us; and 'tis no news to fight from sun to sun, as they did, as Constantine and Licinius, &c. At the siege of Ostend (the devil's academy) a poor town in respect, a small fort, but a great grave, 120,000 men lost their lives, besides whole towns, dorpes, and hospitals full of maimed soldiers; there were engines, fire-works, and whatsoever the devil could invent to do mischief with 2,500,000 iron bullets shot of 40 pounds weight, three or four millions of gold consumed. "Who (saith mine author) can be sufficiently amazed at their flinty hearts, obstinacy, fury, blindness, who without any likelihood of good success, hazard poor soldiers, and lead them without pity to the slaughter, which may justly be called the rage of furious beasts, that run without reason upon their own deaths; what plague, what fury brought so devilish, so brutish a thing as war first into men's minds? Who made so soft and peaceable a creature, born to love, mercy, meekness, so to rave, rage like beasts, and run on to their own destruction? how may nature expostulate with mankind? I made thee an harmless, quiet, a divine creature: how may God expostulate, and all good men? Yet, as one condoles: these are the brave spirits, the gallants of the world, these admired alone, triumph alone, have statues, crowns, pyramids, obelisks to their eternal fame, that immortal genius attends on them. When Rhodes was besieged, the ditches were full of dead carcasses: and as when the said Solyman, the great Turk, beleaguered Vienna, they lay level with the top of the walls.

As to the first point By satanists I am talking about the silly little people who get their stuff from Hollywood movies. : One must actually believe in demons for my answer to make sense. I guess you do not believe that Hitler, like Faust made a bargain with the Devil. But if you want a historical example of cultists, there was for instance, the Hells-Fire Club hat John Wilkes, the English radical belonged to. It is from their time that the term ‘gay’ came to be applied to libertines.

As to the second, realize that none of the cities of Canaan had that many people. Think of the scale of ancient Troy. In one day British bombers killed more people—women, children—than all of Joshua’s campaigns together.

>>>Theocracy is a form of government.<<

Only in the Western sense of "government"...not in theirs. If you are familar with the term "polytheist", that would make you one...punishable by death.

Muslims believe Allah is all you need....the one God. Government is another God. Hense polytheism. None of this elections and political fal-der-al....just perform jihad for Allah, recite the Quran, bow to the East five times a day and don't worry you little head about anything except attaining paradise.

The Mullahs have everything figured out....just obey.

As far as Western government...they want it to control US....not them. They do not submit to anybodys government. No believer in Allah does.

Cartoon Upsets Muslims

Wouldn't it be easier just to list things that do NOT upset Muslims? I think the list would be rather short.
