I dont recall anyone anywhere saying radical Catholic terrorists. simply IRA TERRORISTS.

Now I will grant , some tabloid in Britain may have used this exact phrasing and I expect some somewhere may have. but it certainly wasnt spoken of HERE publicly.

R.I.T is used rather loosely.

well why do you think that is ? maybe because they keep telling the world that ISLAM will control the world or they scream ala acobar or what ever they say when they pull the cord/push the button on their suicide vest or burn, rape, behead in the name of ala then post that shit on friggin youtube.....geemineee flapjacks man how much slack can you give a radical Islamic terrorist group ? another example of backwards ass political correctness.

smfh. BECAUSE THEY DON'T SPEAK FOR ALL OF ISLAM. it's a incredibly bastardized version of it. islam is a peaceful religion.

Here's a quick quiz where you can guess whether the quotes come from the Bible or the Quran.

And, in the most ridiculously straightforward method to find the Quran, a search on google.com led me to - go figure - quran.com. Free, translated in numerous languages.

http://www.quran.com

The bible is the bloodiest book ever written. It drives me insane when people will go on and on about what the Quran says but fail to mention the bible is equally horrible in some passages.

this is just it.

That is just it.
But I also completely disagree with this "Islam is a truly peaceful religion" bullshit too. I'm not talking about ISIS or other Islamic fanatics. Plain old Islams isn't a religion of peace any more than Christianity is. They are BOTH religions based on a whole lot of bullshit with violence and sexism built right into their holy texts. So let's stop pretending otherwise. That said, most normal religious people don't follow their centuries old religious texts literally. Unfortunately religious FANATICS do, and then some (i.e., they follow what is in those books, along with what isn't in those books, and usually some gross combination of the two). And it is the religious fanatics, be they Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Jewish, or whatever else, who are the problem obviously. Not the vast majority. Not the "normals"..... I know most of you know this already. I'm really just talking to GF, lol, the man who apparently thinks ISIS is comprised of 10% of all Muslims in the world, lol.
(but that does remind me of that time I got flamed for saying that 20% of Muslims hold extremist beliefs on some level. I still believe that to be true (from reading info and stats that makes this fully believable). That said, I doubt the number is much different for Christians. It's just that most extremist Christians have gotten over the terrorist hump)

when I said Islam is a religion of peace, I meant in practice, not in text. Of course it is a religion with a history of oppression and violence and sexism and whatnot. All historical religions are. But today's Islam is not that at all.

so if 10% of christians are homophobes who abuse (mentally, physically, emotionally) those in the LGTBQ community, should we call them Radical Christian Fundamentalists, or just bigoted assholes?

I'm fine with the latter.
