Yeah, but I'd bet cash
there are Christians who would say
Born Again Christians
(for instance, Jack Chick)
are the "syphilis" within
Christianity.
Let's not demonize
all Wahhabis, just the ones
that can't find a way
to live with others
without cold blooded murder.
(I'm guessing there's some . . .)
Some televangelists are the "professional wrestlers" of religion. Con artists pushing their stage show for a willing audience.
I am unfamiliar with any born again Christians murdering those Christians who have left the church. The closest comparison that could be drawn are parents who have their kids kidnapped from a cult so that they could be deprogrammed.
You will find more paranoid secrecy and thought control under a religion like Scientology. They DO seek to silence their critics.
As to Jack Chick, there are a lot of atheists that buy his packets of comics to get a cheap laugh. An underground comix publisher even did an overview of the tracts that were published.
I guess you don't understand Wahhabism. It IS the Syphilis of Islam. Christians, Jews and Muslims HAVE coexisted peacefully in the past, but Wahhabism and the other fanatic cults which preceeded and accompanied it, have changed the face of contemporary Islam.
Not all Muslims are haters of the west and non-Muslims, but all Wahhabists are. Wahhabism is anti-American, anti-western, anti-Christian, ant-Jewish. Its totally evil and those who practise it are either totally evil or they are superficial Wahhabists, cynically covering their feelings with a thin veneer to maintain status.
And the WORST thing about Wahhabism is the fact we feed it with our petro dollars. The reason that Saudi Sheiks walk hand in hand with American presidents is because they need American money to fund their terror machine.
Sufism and other moderate forms of Islam are just as proscribed in Saudi Arabia as Christianity and Judaism. The seizure of power in Saudi Arabia by the Wahhabist Saud clan was accompanied by the massacre of thousands of non-Wahhabist Muslims.
