Christianity, particularly in the US, is exactly like Islam. Both discard any resemblance to spirituality in favour of controlling people's thoughts and lives through fear. Whereas Christianity prefers to instill a kind of metaphysical fear of hell and psychological insecurity, Islam prefers actual physical violence. If someone is stupid enough to join the religion herd, then fine. But if we have any chance of progressing as a species then these relics of medieval social repression need to be discarded once and for all.
Btw, there were these fucking evangelist pricks at my uni today with a big poster board. They wanted people to write what they would do if they had one day left to live. Amongst the "Praise Jesus" shit I drew a big cock and wrote, "Put this in teh wimminz!"
Hahah, that was a killer quote!!
But sadly, actually, Islam was not meant to be so violent. Yeah, Jihad IS mentioned in the Quran, but all they were tought were to defend their religion. Yes to war, only if provoked. But as in most cases, the shit happening at present is caused by the extremist who, I would say, misinterpreted the Quran. The actual Islamic teaching don't promote violence. And governments punishing people by severe torture are not part of the Quran. I guess they just wanna control their people by instilling fear through the religion. Christianity did that ages ago. It's all for self glory, nothing else.
I'm quite glad the extremist are not strong over here. Yeah we had a few incidents a coupla years ago, but they were exterminated almost immediately.
The most famous incident happened in '98, when a group of terrorists took hold of a hill in the North and abducted a few soldiers. They were obviously extremist, because of the few soldiers they kidnapped, 2 of them were non Muslims. A hindu and a Christian. The hindu guy got his face smashed with durians (alive) and the christian guy got both his feet destroyed. The extremist fired their AK-47's until his feet were no more.
But thankfully the police and the army reacted very quick and brought the situation under control. The extremist were sentenced to death.
Oh, by the way, you do know what durians are, right?
