I'm not prepared to accept what you've said in this post because you provide no references and because I don't trust your data sources.
The willful blindness of zealots and bigots is unacceptable. It's not so easy to sweep history under a rug and pretend it doesn't exist. The inhumanity and intolerance of Christians over the centuries (and even at the present time) is well documented. Any claim to moral superiority, like georgeob1's claim, is simply dishonest.
Amusing.
=> Blatham disputes my assertion about the relative differences between religious tolerance in the Western, Christian world and in the Moslem nations, because I offered no references, and he wouldn't trust my sources anyway. had I done so.
=> Now Debra calls me a bigot, and dishonest. Then she affirms the counter proposition suggesting that the "inhunanity and intolerance" over the centuries is a Christian thing, and herself offers no sources or references. (Though her evident lack of historical knowledge is astounding)
Meanwhile the episodic slaughter of Christians and other non Muslims continues in the Middle East continues, and the practice of Christianity remains either prohibited or subject to frequent violence throughout in even the currently relatively peaceful parts of the Moslem world.
