Blah blah blah evolutionism blah blah humanism blah blah Dahmer blah blah blah Stalin blah blah Hitler blah blah blah.

We’ve heard all this before and it’s still a load. A belief in evolution is not inconsistent with a belief in God, nor does it inevitably lead to a belief in humanism, communism, or whatever. The Islamist terrorists that we are fighting today are creationists - does that mean creationism is responsible for their murderous creed?

No....but then again, their "creationism" doesn't serve as a philosophical justification for their actions.

"Survival of the fittest", on the other hand, has served wonderfully for justifying the attempted extermination of "inferior" races, and so forth.

Why on earth do you suppose the Islamofascists are "creationists?" Where is your evidence for this?

It seems you regard "creationist" and "creationism" as terms of opprobrium that can be applied willy-nilly to people you dislike. For the record, the creator God of the creationists, and the "god" called Allah, are virtually polar opposites. The former is a God of love, life, light, human flourishing and human freedom; the latter, a god of vengeance who demands nothing from human beings but submission to his murderous, bloody-minded will. Man must surrender his freedom to be in good graces with this ersatz god.

The so-called "religion of peace" espouses the same kind of "peace" that the former Soviet Union did, as denoted by the Russian word, mir: Peace is defined as what follows from the utter subjection or annihilation of all "enemies." As long as there are "enemies," there can be no peace.
