That’s a huge difference in population.

And as far as Muslims being more violent than Christians, I take it we’re only counting violence within the last several decades. Over many centuries, Christians win hands down.

But, as another poster said in this thread, the enforced atheists have a commanding lead in just the last 90 years.

A couple decades ago, when abortion clinic burnings were front page news, i did some research. For every abortion clinic bombed or burned, there were 17 churches, bombed or burned down.

Snowflakes have never actually seen real violence outside of TV and movies - to them violence is when Christians knock on their doors handing out Christian literature - the nerve! Muslims never do such a terrible thing!

“Republicans had a much different perspective on the matter however.  Over six-in-ten believe that Islam is more violent in nature than other religions.”

Wow, almost four-in-ten Republicans are drooling morons.

We are also enjoined to protect the weak from the evil.

Road apples.

I’m afraid those road apples are nuggets of truth.

Sir, the European Wars of Religion (1524-1658) alone may have killed up to 18,000,000 Europeans in the high estimate and at least 8,000,000 in the lowest estimate. That’s just the late Renaissance I’m pointing out in the wars between the Holy Roman Empire, the Calvinists, and the Lutherans.

Islam’s bloodthirst hasn’t been anywhere near so successful.

Sorry to have to be the one to break it to you.

What has that got to do with today’s world?

Means we see Christianity has reformed to become civilized away from the old barbaric days.
Islam is still in the thick of it. The only think helping is their limited resources and hundreds of years of inbreeding causing lots of problems for them.

Pardon me, but those "old barbaric days" of Christianity you speak of was recent enough to be recorded on color film.

I take it you want to limit the scope of who's arguably got the most violent religion to just the last decade or so.

“may have”

May have.

Come back when you have better numbers.

I’ve heard all this crap before.

Now let me break something to you: the so-called “European Wars of Religion” were only occasionally and only vaguely about religious convictions.

It’s going to take you God-only-knows how many years to unlearn all the crap you’ve been taught, and I’m too old to want to be a part of that unlearning process, so I’m out.

Democrats - a foul mixture of both evil and stupidity.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My friends and relatives are shocked when I tell them point blank that I despise all Leftists and do not want any of them in my presence. When asked why, I tell them that every single Leftist whether Democrat, Liberal, Socialist, Communist, or Progressive, is either evil or ignorant, or both. These freaking anti-Americans are committed to the destruction of our Constitutional Republic. They are our mortal enemies and should never be trusted. They should be taken down hard both verbally and physically at every opportunity.

A simple review of what Islam expects of it followers should give those "non-thinkers" second thoughts. It clearly has nothing to do with a civilized religion and very much appears the charter for a terrorist group.

Even if the liberals KNOW Muslims are instructed to kill infidels, they really are stupid enough to believe these barbarians won't really do it.

Many Americans will have to die at the hands of the terrorist enabling Demonrats before the Muslim plague is removed.
