Good article. The one about 10 things Christians and atheists can
agree upon is good, too.

It didn't spend any time bashing Christians at all, in fact.

I read it. Re-read the part about the Crusades. It was pointedly
painted as a Christian V. Muslim comparison, when I would argue that
anyone who attempts to conquer land in the name of Christianity isn't
Christian at all. They're very much playing on the mind of the
un-educated and weak-minded. Not that I expected much more from them,
I just loath misinformation being passed off as fact.

0 0 Which doesn't change the fact that the Crusades were called for b=
y
the Pope and answered by Christians in order to free the Holy Land
from Muslims. Just because you don't consider them Christian, doesn't
change anything.

Apparently his answer is to exclude everyone who historically did bad
things in the name of Christianity from his definition of
"Christian". Which is OK I guess as long as he give the same leeway
in this discussion to Muslims.

Although an interesting read, it was incredibly slanted, although I
suppose it was in order to make a point.

I didn't believe any of those 5 ridiculous things going into it, but
they certainly overstated and misrepresented a few things in the
process.

I didn't see anything against Christians in there, maybe I didn't read
what Dan read.

1. Thanks for posting the islam site, it's spot on and correctly
ridicules a lot of stuff that's conventional wisdom.
2. That's quite the addictive website. Will be adding to the RSS feed.

Heh. 0Most Muslims don't consider the jihadists to be real Muslims.
Doesn't change anything.


but if 10% do, that's like a gazillion of them
