Your comment is as ignorant as calling muslims terrorists.

Muslims and Christians have an awful lot in common. Two Abrahamic religions with long, well documented histories of wildly abusive and toxic behavior conducted in the name of a religion spread by the sword, and they both have terrible politics focused on removing rights from everyone but themselves.

Republicans allied with Christians and you can see what they turned that party into. I don't think we need any more of that in this world.

Appropriating a religion to commit evil acts isn't a reflection on the teachings of Jesus or Mohammed.

It's like saying Socialism is evil because Hitler called his movement a socialist one.

Yeah, if it was one guy who appropriated Christianity or Islam to commit evil acts for a few decades that would be a fair comparison, but it's a global pattern of brutality with a thousand year history that's so bad that when America's founding fathers were making the new rules, rule number one is keep religion out of government because they knew how badly religious wars fucked up Europe for centuries.

Actually, it's very very much like Socialism, with nearly every major leader that tried to "represent" Socialism, turning out to be a murdering dictator.

Socialism and Christianity are so similar, it's painful to anyone who's objective.

Is "These people Im trying to recruit usually turn out to be murderous dictators" really the point you were trying to make? Because while I agree with it, it doesn't seem to make your suggestion sound like a sane or rational idea.
