has been killing people by the hundreds across the world on a regular basis, it's the large body count and the continued oppression of women that make it the most attractive target and one that many will talk about.
I find it absolutely amazing that supposed progressives are continually defending a religion and culture that treats females as chattel without rights to even leave the house or drive a car without permission. As though such a culture and religion were deserving of the same respect as a progressive culture that recognizes the rights of women, gays, minorities as equals under the law.
Catholicism has its sex scandal and continued idiocy spewing from the vatican, and protestants have their own idiots happily engaged in disrupting funerals because their god hates gays and kills soldiers as punishment.
But those religions are not daily, in 2015, rounding up women in a host of locations around the world to be used as sex slaves for jihadis.
We can continue to pretend that islam fundamentalists are no more dangerous than the WBC or recognize the simple fact that holding up a moronic sign at a funeral and acting like a jackass hardly compares to entering a mall and murdering a few hundred people.
Fundamentalist islam is the largest and most dangerous religious issue of our time. Pretending otherwise out of some fear of being perceived as a bigot is simply not being intellectually honest.
I never once said that all muslims are dangerous killers, but out of all the fundamentalists from a variety of religions in the US or worldwide it's pretty clear fundamentalist islam has on qualms about using the murder of women and children as a means to expand their power.
Consequently that religion and its fundamentalist adherents should be exposed under a spotlight and a bullhorn each and every day until either the moderates get control of their murderous fundamentalists or we wipe those fundamentalists out with high order detonations and the use of high velocity kinetic energy.
Note to Jurors: This is the opinion of one atheist who absolutely believes all religions suck and are used to control and ruin the lives of otherwise ordinary people. I despise all religions for their control mechanisms but I have no ill will for their followers, nor do I believe there has been any benefit to our society based on the contributions of any religions. Islam just happens to have the most dangerous fundies at the moment, I have muslim friends and we are quite close as I don't hate muslims. I just hate murderous fundamentalists, and I won't accept that Americans should have their first amendment rights constrained because of those murderous fundies.
