...it is actually Christianity and crusades that have killed more people "by the sword" than any other religion in history. ...A falsehood of such huge proportions and one so easily debunked that I am actually in awe. The courage you show--born of the anonymity the internet affords--in strapping on your ignorance and malice and blowing youself...up...on this forum is truly inspiring.
So tell us---is ignorance bliss?
"... These massacres perpetrated by Moslems in India are unparalleled in history. In sheer numbers, they are bigger than the Jewish Holocaust, the Soviet Terror, the Japanese massacres of the Chinese during WWII, Maos devastations of the Chinese peasantry, the massacres of the Armenians by the Turks, or any of the other famous crimes against humanity of the 20th Century. But sadly, they are almost unknown outside India. ... The holes in our President's socks....

Um, you are WRONG WRONG WRONG on the Crusades. The Islamic Turkish genocide of the Christian Armenians alone killed 2-3 million, many times more than any crusade, which was really a political attempt to carve a holy land state. (It's why the islamofascists call us "Crusaders" when we talk about the middle east).
yaou can go down the list of Christians brutalized and killed by Islamic armies, from byzantium to Syraian orthodox to Egypt to the balkans to malta etc. and it adds up to many times more
than affected in the crusader wars. And in those wars of course, both sides we killing and at war.

"The IRA and the Basque seperatist movement squandered any sympathy they or their causes might have deserved by resorting to terror."
Agreed. Furthermore, they are now known to be hangin' with the jihadists.
"The occupation and destruction of Tibet is one of history's great tragedies, approaching the destruction of the library at Alexandria and the destruction of Athens by the Peloponnesian War."
And why aren't the anti-war crowd demonstrating against *that*, one might ask.
"Should the goal of Islam--i.e. world domination--succeed, or even if it should succeed in taking over Europe--the tragedy would dwarf these other great world tragedies and would exceed World War II in tragic significance."
Unless they do something soon, Europe is done. Either way, blood will flow in the streets. Whiney socialist weenies that they are, they don't deserve that. Bringing it on themselves, though. I hope that the UK, at least, can be saved.

Hmmmm. I propose we create a new All Female Airborne Division. Teach 'em to shoot and throw grenades and how to jump from a static line. The uniform would be Weapon, Helmet, Boots and Bikini- (thong bottom). That would surely get 'em riled up. They might even run in fear. We'd drop the 82d in right behind them of course.
If the Thong Corps were successful, it would be a major coup- imagine the morale of the Muslims after being defeated by a group like that. We could name the Division the "Shrieking Amazons".

If she wears a veil and wants you to convert STAY AWAY. If she is only a nominal Muslim who dosesn't wear a veil GO FOR IT! I had a wonderful experience with an Egyptian "Muslim" lady who was lukewarmly religious.

"I don't know if this makes me a religious "bigot,"
It's always best to date/marry someone within your own religion. Politics, race, economic status are earthly, temporary designations. Who a person chooses to place their faith and eternal destination in, is a spiritual, eternal choice. Don't intermarry with non-believers, be equally yoked within your faith.
Having said that, a recent article I read stated that most Christians don't see any problem marrying non-believers... it makes you wonder just how truly devoted to being a Christian they are. If you claim to be a Christian but never practice the tenets and believe that the tenets are wrong... then, you're like, Clinton. I think Clintonism has helped each person see themselves/America as we are. Our words don't mean anything because everybody interprets words, actions and laws as they see right. In essence, morality and laws are subjective to each man's interpretation. Faithfulness is claimed readily, but seldom found to be authentic. Sinning/cheating/stealing is only bad if you're caught. Those who adhere steadfastly to the Bible's truths have the wrong "ideology", and are called bigots and uneducated. .

In a given society, a balanced number of religious leaders and devotees is necessary to promote morality. When ethics degenerate, more are needed; when a people are moral, religion falls out of favor.
If the balance falls out of kilter, so does the society.
I would say the West needs more religion and the Islamic world need less. It seems we are about to witness a naturally equalizing exchange.
Nature abhors a vacuum.

I'll simply say that I am
Christian.I feel that the mandatory attendance of Church proceedings, while they make one feel better about religion, is not a substitute for walking the walk, so to speak... So, while I don't attend Church with any regularity... My ex-wife, who attends church religiously (excuse the pun), told me I was the "most Christian" man she had ever met... To say the least, I was surprised, as she is Catholic...
Let's face it- too many people do the "shout on Sunday, doubt on Monday" approach to religion. I have seen several times, where these so-called "Christian" people sit in Church, say the right things at all the right times, tithe, etc... Then, when they're leaving, give someone "the bird" in the parking lot, as everyone is trying to leave after services.... :(
But the thing is, being a Muslim and NOT condemning such violence as has been occurring over the last 25 years by fellow Muslims... says to me that there is a tacit approval of such actions...
This worries me... and I cannot, in good conscience, associate with people who condone overt murder in the name of a so-called religion, any more than I would allow myself to associate with the murderers, themselves.... :(
