I do think the combo of guns and jesus is absurd humor, but it
wouldn't
keep me from patronizing the joint if the food were any good.

More absurd than swords, lighter fluid and Mohammed?



I'll be the first to admit I know little about the teachings of
Mohammed,

You're right.

I don't know this for a fact, but my guess is that over the
centuries
since the founding of Christianity and Islam, more people have been
slaughtered by Christians in the name of Christianity than by
Muslims in
the name of Islam.

Bad guess. Better go back and see what prompted the Crusades.

[Note: some snippage of Krause's post.]


Power and land lust, of course, promulgated by the Catholic Church.



Also defense against Islam fundamentalists.

I was watching a ultra liberal debating someone on MSNBC a couple of
hours ago. He was resorting to the same argument, citing holy wars
conducted by the Catholic hierarchy ... in the 11th and 12th century
as if somehow that excuses the actions of modern day Islamic
fundamentalists like ISIS.

Why is it that liberals always blame things on something that happened
many years ago in history .... in this case about 900 years ago ...
when the world was different and religious leaders were governmental
leaders?





Perhaps it is because history is a continuum, and the hands of
Christians are dirtier than the hands of Muslims? And, of course, you
don't have to go all the way back to the Crusades to find examples of
Christians slaughtering people of other religions.

For many reasons, most Christians in Germany in the late 1920s and early
1930s welcomed the advent of Nazism. In 1933, Hitler called Christianity
the foundation for German values. The Nazis signed an agreement with the
Vatican that year, and while some church leaders in Germany throughout
the war years opposed the Nazis, many did not.

At war's end, most church leaders in Germany were silent about the
slaughter of the Jews for religious reasons, and it became obvious that
great numbers of ordinary German Christians were involved in the
persecution of the Jews and other minorities.

To claim that only Muslims have been involved in terrorism in recent
decades is just plain naive.





Should Scandinavians and nations like Norway (that you admire so much)
be judged today by the historical actions of the Vikings? They were
pretty barbaric. "Beserkers"



The point is that both Muslims and Christians have plenty of blood on
their hands throughout history for "religious" reasons. And the
Holocaust isn't so far in our past, is it?



Hello. It's 2015.
