On the other hand there are many examples of muslims on this site supporting extremism.They ...[text shortened]... do not have the support of their religion. Islamic extremists do.
You need to open your eyes.
there will always be fanatics that offer support to fanatics, and in all religions. the fact that psychotic murderers have the support of the religion is plain ignorance. psychotic murderers have the support of murderers who are intelligent enough to not get their hands dirty. who use religion for their own means. that doesn't mean the religion advocates hate. it simply means smart murdering bastards are using religion to make ignorant, impressionable less intelligent murdering bastards die for one goal or another. exactly like the popes of the middle ages sent people to die in the crusades and asked peasants to accept a life of slavery and pain because the meek shall inherit the earth.
"The reason is that nowhere does Christ advocate killing or persecuting non-christians". and still killings are done in his name. witches, heretics, jews, scientists daring to go against the church, native americans being civilized, africans saved from savagery and damnation and sent all over the world to work as slaves. "The way of Christ is peace." Is that why christian fundamentalists (on this site) talk about all the wonderful ways in which an atheist's soul will be ripped to shreds in an eternal simphony of agony and pain?
"Christian extremists do not have the support of their religion. Islamic extremists do." this is an ignorant claim. and bigot too, but mostly ignorant. what support do islamic extremists have from their religion? who are those supporters? how about the muslims who denounce the terrorists as the murdering maniacs they are? not to mention the world affairs today favour muslim extremism, just as the middle ages and the dark ages favoured christian extremism. there are a lot of factors involved and just because mohammed said something violent at one point you cannot go kill people, just as we understood we cannot go around killing women jkust because the bible said "you shall not suffer a witch"
