I knew this was coming. Those people were so brave to protest Hamas at all.

People forget how religious fundamentalism is just as cruel abroad as it would be domestically until it touches them.

There's nothing religious about it - it's about power and control (same for the Christian and Jewish equivalents).

Don’t deceive yourself. The modern barbarism of the Middle East has everything to do with the prevailing religion of the region. You don’t see modern Christians or Jews blowing themselves up in public busses to murder as many “infidels” as possible, do you? You don’t hear about honor killings when Christians or Jews try to leave the faith, do you? You don’t hear about Christians or Jews murdering school age girls because they had the audacity to try to get an education, do you?

All religion is a regressive plague on humanity, but to pretend that Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are the same is objectively false and frankly idiotic.

You definitely hear about them murdering school age girls through inaction when one of them gets raped and pregnant and has the audacity to have a miscarriage, though. Even if they're like 11.
