    Republicans are criminals, cheaters, liars and traitors.
    And I have proof, just watch and listen to everything they do.
    They HATE America and want to rule it with a sick 2000 year old genocidal religion.
    Always vote for the candidate to does things to help Americans, and chooses human rights over fascist control laws.

        It’s absolutely not. This is your post 9/11 bias showing. Islam, historically has been less genocidal than Christianity.

        Much of the colonization of Africa, the Americas, and other regions was done in the name of Christianity, through that there were many genocides of indigenous peoples. Many wars were fought over the flavor of Christianity after the reformation.

        Religion, in general, causes people to do vile things. But Christianity has more blood on its hands than Islam.

            Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr my anecdotal experience outweighs objective historyyyyy

            (Just clarifying I am not denying the Armenian genocide but seriously this person is so off base it’s just incredible they can still breathe, Christianity is basically the driving force behind an unbelievably high amount of deaths and the death toll has never stopped going up)

            I am not saying Islam did not result in genocide. I am not denying the armenian genocide. All I am saying is, you can’t say Islam has caused more genocide than Christianity. Islam has a lot of blood on its hands too, religion in general does.

        There are many different flavors of Christianity just like there are many different flavors of Islam. Each flavor has its own set of doctrines that they apply to themselves. None of those different flavors can claim to be the true flavor. Defining a religion by just one of its flavors is misguided and wrong.

        Just to jump back in and be more unpopular… ALL Abrahamic religions are evolved from each other. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are the holy trinity.
        Parts of the Torah are in the Old Testament and the Koran.
        People will be shocked that the stories are slightly edited versions of the same line of mythology.
        None of them are “better”. They all promote control and hatred.
        None of these religions are helping people or society. They are only helping themselves to money, power, control and a larger cult following.
        No one needs religion. Humanity only needs water, food, shelter.

        I remember someone studying Koran vs. “the” bible and showing that even the text is more genocidal than the Koran. This was on NPR some number of years ago; pretty easy to find. Of course, apologists for xtianity and/or “Judeo-Xtian values” (lol), will not want to hear this.

        Of course, all three Abrahamic religions are tied to “the” bible, so I’m not sure it’s all that relevant, but…definitely a lot of xtians need to know.
