Ah, yes, we can't have a thread hating on the Muslims without Mac showing up.
There are no fundamentalist Buddhists or fundamentalist Presbyterians or .... chopping the heads off of children and slaughtering gays.
Really?
Well, we have the Buddhists in Burma killing the Rohingya Muslim minority.
2016 Rohingya persecution in Myanmar - Wikipedia
The Burmese military have been accused of wide-scale
human rights violations, including
extrajudicial killings,
gang rapes,
arson and
infanticides, claims which the Burmese government dismisses as "exaggerations".

You have fundamentalist Christians killing abortion doctors and bombing gay nightclubs.
But it's the Muslims, they are the bad ones.
Keep telling yourself that Mac, and how totally not racist you are.
This is one of the Regressive Left's fundamental (ironic!) ways of spinning for Islam: Equating it with other ideologies. This is the most vicious and dangerous religion -- on the whole, good people, great people and bad people -- on the planet, right now, right here, today. And to deny that is the ultimate in intellectual dishonesty. People are dying and suffering.
Guy, all religions are vicious. I do love how you qualify it with "right now", because I guess that it excuses all the genocidal behavior by Christians all the way up until the last century. You like when Christians and Buddhists in WWII slaughtered 70 million people. But right now, the Muslims are MEAN!!!
They aren't "dangerous" because their belief in a Magic Sky Man is any worse than yours. Heck, it's not even about religion at all. Atheists can be jerks, too. Just ask Stalin and Mao. They are dangerous because after brutalizing them for 40 years, they are a lot less picky about who they hurt fighting back.
Islam needs a Reformation, now, and there are people fighting for it. Decent Muslims, over a billion of them, need it. The world needs it. The Regressive Left and Fundamentalist Islamists are fighting against it. Why is that? Especially the way you feel about religion?
Because- one more time.
1) Religion isn't the problem here, our stupid policies are.
2) It's not our place as outsiders to tell a religion they need to reform.
3) Finding some pet western educated Muslim who agrees with you because someone cut her junk when she was 5 for non-religious cultural reasons isn't a compelling authority.
Since we know you LACK the intellect to refute any of this, please take your pompous Islamophobic horseshit and stick it.
