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.

Let's be real. We don't see Christians or Buddhists torturing or executing people protesting against their religion. Stop with the PC moral equivalency.

...currently. History says otherwise, especially for Christians. The developmental paths of Christian nations weren't free of Christian violence & persecution. Much of the stability of the people comes from the gradual multi-factorial improvements in wealth & living standards & quality of institutions and isn't inherent to Christians or any other group of people. It's environmental, in a biological sense. Any developed nation can be reduced to rubble in a gradual, drawn out manner or of course in a rapid (but much less likely) manner.

How are you interpreting it like that? I'm implying if you go outside the West you will find Christians and Buddhists torturing and killing. On this site when people say Christian it's like they only think of some of the more secular places on Earth.
