The sweet and sour sow belly with the tits on it is to die for in NC>

I will pin point the reason for you. These entertainers would never say or do anything to point out the absurdity of the islam as it pertains to human rights. they do not have the balls. They would much rather pick the low hanging fruit so to speak.

And a Christianity which discriminates is as absurd as an Islam. This is not about Islam or even what is going on in some backwards ass country. This is 'homegrown' shit. You may believe in some Hitler loving racists right to free speech but you don't want to live beside one.

How do you fight the injustices in the world when your own house is unclean?

NC knows about our culture and morals. Dubai citizens do not. Perhaps letting them experience our culture may have some impact. Rather let the see Cirque du Soleil than talk with a NC politician.

You seem sure that Christians were involved in producing the bathroom law. I suspect that they are actually closet Muslims trying to impose Sharia law on the citizens of North Carolina.

Next they'll be demanding modesty codes, prayer in schools and Baptist-style foot baths.

And hand amputations, stonings, polygamy, slavery, that traditional stuff. And defining PI = 3.0. But will they go all Leviticus 20:10 on cheaters?

Oh, come on! In terms of human rights violations, how can you compare Christianity with Islam? The former is no bargain, and was worse a thousand or so years ago, but the latter is infinitely worse, back then and, especially, now.

They appear fairly even to me.

I don't recall ever learning history from a tavern keeper.

The Muslims were mass murderers ever since their start - murdering millions of Hindus. Christians and Jews, being "People of the book" were not treated as badly.

And what's that got to do with the fact that Christians at large didn't stop being first class tyrannical fuckin' barbarian assholes until just recently?

Sorry guy....1000 years ago it simply didn't go all black and white Christian = good moozlem = evil.

You're forgetting the dark ages and....never mind you'll just call that part of history liburhul propaganda anyhow.

You can't even operate the fucking quote function.

I'll never say anything good about historical Christianity. The best I will say is that it has never been as bloodthirsty as Islam.

I am somewhat familiar with the Dark Ages. That period happened to coincide roughly with the rise of Islam.

SEE INQUISITION

 

[Boxlicker101]

SEE INQUISITION

What about the Inquisition. Without excusing anybody, it happened centuries ago, and was rather mild compared to the excesses committed by ISIS or the Taliban or other Muslim groups. https://www.bing.com/search?q=Deaths+in+the+Inquisition&FORM=R5FD2 At no time have I ever said anything good about historical Christianity.

However, it is worth pointing out the Spanish Inquisition was largely revenge taken against Muslims for the excesses committed during their occupation of the Iberian Peninsula.

The Dark Ages generally began with the fall of Rome and ended with the Age of Exploration, which was mostly carried out by Spain and Portugal, and it began after the Muslim conquerors had been expelled from those countries.

Do you really give that much of a fuck about what some backward ass country does and thinks and yet are willing to turn a blind eye to similar oppression near you?

That doesn't amount to much when compared to the deaths in India at the hads of Muslim invaders:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquests_on_the_Indian_subcontinent

Impact of Islam and Muslims in India[edit]

See also: Persecution of Hindus § During Islamic rule of the Indian sub-continent and Persecution of Buddhists § India

According to historian Will Durant, "The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history". By the estimate of Koenraad Elst the population of Indian subcontinent reduced by almost 80 million between 1000 and 1525.[108] In course of their conquests and rule in India, the number of Muslims in India increased through Immigration and Conversion. The ancient kingdoms in Afghanistan and Pakistan became Muslim majority areas, as did the Eastern Part of Bengal. This would ultimately lead to the Partition of India in 1947 after the end of British rule.

Conversion theories[edit]

Considerable controversy exists both in scholarly and public opinion as to how conversion to Islam came about in Indian subcontinent, typically represented by the following schools of thought:[109]
1.Conversion was a combination, initially by violence, threat or other pressure against the person.[109]
2.As a socio-cultural process of diffusion and integration over an extended period of time into the sphere of the dominant Muslim civilization and global polity at large.[110]
3.That conversions occurred for non-religious reasons of pragmatism and patronage such as social mobility among the Muslim ruling elite[109][110]
4.That the bulk of Muslims are descendants of migrants from the Iranian plateau or Arabs.[110]
5.Conversion was a result of the actions of Sufi saints and involved a genuine change of heart.[109]

An estimate of the number of people killed remains unknown. Based on the Muslim chronicles and demographic calculations, an estimate was done by K.S. Lal in his book Growth of Muslim Population in Medieval India, who claimed that between 1000 CE and 1500 CE, the population of Hindus decreased by 80 million. Although this estimate was disputed by Simon Digby in (School of Oriental and African Studies), Digby suggested that estimate lacks accurate data in pre-census times. In particular the records kept by al-Utbi, Mahmud al-Ghazni's secretary, in the Tarikh-i-Yamini document several episodes of bloody military campaigns.[111] Hindus who converted to Islam however were not completely immune to persecution due to the caste system among Muslims in India established by Ziauddin al-Barani in the Fatawa-i Jahandari,[112] where they were regarded as an "Ajlaf" caste and subjected to discrimination by the "Ashraf" castes.[113]

Critics of the "religion of the sword theory" point to the presence of the strong Muslim communities found in Southern India, modern day Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, western Burma, Indonesia and the Philippines coupled with the distinctive lack of equivalent Muslim communities around the heartland of historical Muslim empires in South Asia as refutation to the "conversion by the sword theory".[110] The legacy of Muslim conquest of South Asia is a hotly debated issue even today. Not all Muslim invaders were simply raiders. Later rulers fought on to win kingdoms and stayed to create new ruling dynasties. The practices of these new rulers and their subsequent heirs (some of whom were borne of Hindu wives of Muslim rulers) varied considerably. While some were uniformly hated, others developed a popular following. According to the memoirs of Ibn Battuta who traveled through Delhi in the 14th century, one of the previous sultans had been especially brutal and was deeply hated by Delhi's population. His memoirs also indicate that Muslims from the Arab world, Persia and Turkey were often favored with important posts at the royal courts suggesting that locals may have played a somewhat subordinate role in the Delhi administration. The term "Turk" was commonly used to refer to their higher social status.[citation needed] However S.A.A. Rizvi[114] points to Muhammad bin Tughlaq as not only encouraging locals but promoting artisan groups such as cooks, barbers and gardeners to high administrative posts. In his reign, it is likely that conversions to Islam took place as a means of seeking greater social mobility and improved social standing.[115][better source needed]

And, of course, there were more millions killed during the conquests of the Middle East and North Africa and parts of Europe.

That's either bias or ignorance.

I am somewhat familiar with the Dark Ages.

Judging by your previous statement you haven't got the slightest fuckin' clue.

Read up on it sometime, European Christians between the collapse of Rome and the renaissance make ISIS look like a bunch of drunk girl scouts at a My Little Pony convention. Even post renaissance they were fuckin' brootal, but the dark ages was about as sadistically blood soaked as it gets.

You are not only factually incorrect, you are morally evil.

You are scum, you are trying to kill Americans with your hateful propaganda...

I only hope that it is your loved ones that are killed so you will feel the loss that your wickedness has caused so many others.

This was a matter of territorial acquisition, not religion. Besides, the Muslims in The Asian sub-continent and the Middle East were worse.

You're in denial and need to go read a history book.

This has nothing to do with territorial acquisition.

I'm talking about the mass torture/killings of anyone and everyone who was so much as accused of looking in the general direction of the Vatican with any sort of attitude.

I'm talking about the near thousand years when a word from a bishop/cardinal can have you and your whole family small kids included turned inside out kept alive just long enough to suffer being set on fire in the public square.

All because grandpa went epileptic....

And yea why not the territory acquisition? Christ was used to justify it, just like ISIS uses Allah/Muhammad to justify theirs. You can argue today's Christians are better because it's true and they are. But not the Christians of the dark ages....not even of the more recent renaissance, you can't really start to make that argument until the industrial revolution takes place. And it's been less than a century since Christians at large dropped the superiority complex enough to even consider non Christians as even human beings.

You think they had to be at war to be doing heinously fucked up shit in the name of Christ?

LOL like I said you need to read a history book on the subject one of these days.

Christians had no problem turning a child inside out in arguably some of most brutal tortures ever created or just set on fire because their mentally ill parent was 'in league with the devil!!' and that was common.

If you really were a heretic? Oh wow....we are back to Christians making the Muslims seem kind and loving by comparison.

Sorry Box, the dark ages in Europe are one of the most torture filled blood soaked periods in recorded history and it was all in the name of Christ.

Like I said, you can argue Christians at large are better today......but you're demonstrably wrong trying to make the same argument for the dark ages.

One can only hope you get to live under sharia law at some point in your life

Why because she doesn't want to live under Christian rule?
