This pisses me off. What other religious group besides muslims are comfortable with asserting the sacredness of their faith with threats?
Even the southern baptists wont do this. <_< |
Christians.

So when was the last time Christians forced a show off air by threatening to kill the creators of the show?
I mean, this is the same show that had Jesus taking a dump on Buddah 2 years ago. I didn't see the Christians threaten them then.

Ever hear of the Inquisition? Crusades? Reformation?
Adjust for time by 600 years, and Islam is now about as mature as Christianity was back in the 1400s, hell, it's probably far more mature than Christianity was back then.
You think some 3000 civilians dead is bad? Seriously? A third of the population of the Germanic states died during the Reformation, and countless others due to witch hunts.
As it stands, Islam is a remarkably civil and peaceful religion when compared to Christianity.

What about the Native Americans? They were nearly wiped out because this land was a "Gift from God" All in all Christianity is the biggest culprit in the histories of man.

...I thought that we were talking about what shows Christianity has censored and taken off air, not the history of various acts that have been stupid by groups. Way to go off discussion here.
If you want to throw Christianity under the bus for such things, one could easily do the same thing for almost any faith or non-faith. After all, there have even been plenty of atheists to do atrocious things in the name of their ideology. Unlike Christianity though (and mind you, most of the bad things you mentioned were done under Catholocism, and not Protestant Christianity), such things have been perpetrated in the past 100 years.
Islam is not a civil and peaceful religion compared to Christianity. Every week, a Christian church is attacked by Muslims. Another Christian woman is raped by a Muslim beause of her faith. Another Christian is put to death because they live in a Muslim country. You simply cannot say the same thing about Muslims living in any Christian nation, and prove that Christians are doing such things at anywhere near the same levels. The same could be said of virtually any other religion and non-religion out there, sans maybe a few heavily communuist/atheistic countries in South East Asia. These are things happening today in 20-freaking-10. Yes, many Muslims are peaceful, I am sure, but when you get into countries that are heavily Islamic, you have horrible human rights violations under sharia law. These are absolute facts. You do have excess and problems in Christianity, which is far from perfect. But when you look at Christian-majority nations versus Muslim-majority nations, their tolerance of activity outiside of thier lifestyle is very, very different. Want an example? Try to cross-dress in Saudi Arabia and in Columbus, Ohio. I can assure you that in only one nation you will be jailed and executed.

For the record, the Reformation was all about Protestantism, not atholicism and it was as bloody as a conflict can get.
As for the rest, that is why I adjusted by 600 years. Do you want me to list what Christians did back in the 1400's? I can tell you, it is far worse than just mere executions. Don't bother arguing this point, you will lose. Islam is far more peaceful than Christianity at the same point of maturity. It's not about the year we live in, but how old the ideaology is. Islam is far younger than Christianity and behaving far more civil than Christianity ever did up until a century or two ago.
You can't just compare somone who is 30 to someone who is 18. You look at the person the 30 year-old was when he was 18. Looking at it like that, Muslims are far better than Christians, and more civil to boot. Thinking otherwise just shows how conceited they are.
Then again, I can't help but laugh when 1 billion people who believe in one fairy tale starts fighting with another set of 1 billion who believe in another fairy tale. It's about as funny as "dude, my unicorns will so kick your leprechauns' asses!" "nuh uh!" "yah huh!" "nah uh" ...*gunshot*.
Edit: Quick fixes here and there.
