But I don't recall any christian suicide bombers, or christian terrorists beheading "heathens" in recent years? Or declaring a holy war on non believers? Or stoning/whipping women who have been raped. Or advocating female circumcision. Or preaching hatred against westerners in immigrant "churches" their (western) host countries helped to fund and who gave them a better life than in their land of origin.
Nope, you're right. Christians only ever used thumbscrews, iron maidens, guillotines, racks, barbed whips, burning at the stake alive, the bloody eagle, hang/draw/quartering, square bullets for Muslim targets, slavery, evisceration and a red hot poker up the bum.
But that's all in the past.
At least now we don't have holy wars between Catholics and Protestants. We don't have the Westboro Baptist Church or the KKK, and it's been YEARS now since Catholic nuns stole babies from poor Spanish families to sell to richer ones telling the mother the kid was stillborn. Christianity had no role in Hitler's ethnic cleansing policies, nor in Anders Breivik's rampage in Norway. There are no Christian ministers who lock up gay teens and try to brainwash them out of being gay, and their stance on condoms saved millions of Africans from HIV. They simply adored the Raj in India. Oh, and praise God that the centre of world Christianity, Vatican City, has a legal age for sexual consent of 12 years old.

According to your thinking these modern atrocities, many of which are happening as you read this, justify the bombing of all Christian centres with the number of deaths being perfectly acceptable because the few who practise such things are deserving of death.

I'm tempted to use a rolling eye emoticon, but I won't. That would be hypocritical.

So Christian tactics differ, so what? My post was in response to what BB said - that they want to impose their style of life on the rest of the world. That is what religions do, and why, for example, much of Africa was forcibly "converted"

Edit: that was in reply to Twiggs obviously, not to DDOS

It was after his time, but doubtless 'nobility' were involved somewhere along the line.

All about money - be it controlling resources or flogging weapons - or both :twisted: This is a monster created by The West in many respects - in my opinion - and serving as an outlet for the (misdirected) frustrations of many. It is something with overtones of the The Irish Problem' in terms of its genesis.

How many innocent people do you think a nuclear weapon would kill?

And how many new jihadis would be created, determined to get revenge for the deaths of the innocent?

But they don't live in nicely discrete military areas and barracks (as if the effects of a nuclear weapon could be confined to a small area), they are based among the innocent civilian population. How do you use nuclear weapons without killing innocent civilians (obviously including all western hostages)?

The answer to both questions is unknown. How many more innocents are IS going to kill though? They need stopping. :bear:

Yes they need stopping BB, I totally agree. I don't claim to know the answer to how that can be done (although arming and supporting the Kurds is an essential first step), but I do know that the answer is not a nuclear bomb.
