re: #19 wrenchwench

I’m the one that called you an asshole.

You now have provided one link for one assertion. You are taking one Pew survey that cites what you call, “over 80% of its practitioners in many of its most prevalent nations” and it turns out to apply only to Egypt and Jordan in your own link. That could be referred to as ‘using a broad brush’ Is it made out of straw men?

Did you look at the sample size for those ‘national surveys’?

Do you have better data? You don’t think 80 million Egyptians, 80% of whom want to kill people for free thought to be disturbing? You think this has nothing to do with the form of Islam they worship?

I stand by what I say - as it stands now, Islam is the most tyrannical and oppressive religion on Earth (something obvious to anyone with their eyes open). People here are (rightfully) quick to demonize the religious right in this country. The nuts in other countries should catch the same flak.

I’m not sure I understand why the possibility that some religions are indeed worse than others is “off-limits thought”.
