    But they're not usually sympathetic to groups who are intolerant and sexist.

    Muslims and liberals both want death to America.

    We want death to ignorance and intolerance. Congratulations on one of the dumbest post I've read in the D&D.

    They also tend to be sympathetic to groups that get stereotyped.

    Out of curiosity, do you know any Muslims personally? Do you have any Muslim friends? Do you find them to be intolerant or sexist? Do they want to blow you up?

    The human spirit has its weaknesses. Those imperfections are sometimes known as sin. God is the healing agent, if you will.

    I do not believe these were Christian acts even if they were committed by people professing to be Christians.

    Fair enough - would you say Christians believe that ALL people are essentially bad and broken? Or just Islamic ones?

    Yes, I do know some and no they don't carry bombs.

    I'd say this doesn't apply to Muslims in America. But it does apply to many Muslim nations.

    So extremist Christians don't represent ALL Christians, but extremist Muslims represent ALL Muslims?

    No, the problem is how widespread intolerant and sexist views are.

    Speaking about inherent nature, every person is broken equally. A Muslim is not more broken than a Christian, for instance.

    Christians are so awesome that they kept blacks as slaves.

    Why would you ask something so moronic?

    In the past, yes.

    In the present, no.

    But people should die for a cartoon. In the present.

    Only because it isn't legal bro. And no...no one should die for their beliefs or artist expression. I'm just making a point.

    No, sir. Christians would be the first to tell you that we are not awesome - our brokenness is why we need a Savior. That being said, no true Christian agrees with slavery or racism, period. Also, if you want to cherry pick, look at who ended up leading the charge to end slavery and promote civil rights in the U.S. and the UK. It was Christians.

    I'll answer your question with a question. Does calling attention to a wrong committed against a group constitute the whole-hearted support of the group in question?

    Explain how this is a moronic question? Because it exposes how stupid you sound? Christians can have bad apples, but not Muslims?
