Thats fine, but historical progression is also as important. I just have a hard time coming up with stats that rank pound for pound Christianity vs. Islam that show moral equivalency in terms of murderous religious fanantics. Sure we could go back to the crusades, but I am talking more modern history. The Mid-east is a violent place, with only one real democracy being Isreal, and most of the conflicts are religious based. We could go out of our way here and even say that very little has changed in 1000 years.
In your defense, the conflicts in the Balkans has a religous undercurrent as well.
I just have a hard time coming up with stats that rank pound for pound Christianity vs. Islam that show moral equivalency in terms of murderous religious fanantics. I'm glad you brought up this point. I wish to make it clear that my concern is with coercive religious extremists of ALL flavors. I find all of them to be dangerous and a threat to liberty.
In fact, other than the deity, the prophet, the scripture, and the language, I don't see any difference worthy of note between them.
