Let's not forget that Christianity suffers from the same hypocrisy that Islam does.

One could point to the way in which religious institutions in South Africa manipulated the Bible to support Apartheid. Hell, pretty much everything that's wrong in the US goes back to the religious right's screwy interpretations of the parts of the Bible they don't just ignore. Christians in the US supported segregation and Jim Crow laws, support the death penalty, oppose social programs and universal health care, are destroying the environment with their SUV's, and lock up more of their brothers and sisters than any other developed nation in the world. Hitler would never have been able to do what he did without the support of the Catholic Church.

This story has been getting all the right wing nutjobs riled up in the United States. I think they're all just secretly pissed off they can't do the same thing themselves to homosexuals, liberals, and anyone else they don't like.

I wonder how Christians would respond if I named my dog 'Jesus'? And these two controversies happened right here in the 'enlightened' West:

CITY, RELIGIOUS GROUPS LOCKED IN BATTLE WITH MUSEUM OVER ''BLASPHEMOUS" ART

Piss Christ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Islam isn't the problem. Christianity isn't the problem. Religion is the problem. Without religion good people would still do good things and bad people would still do bad things. Religion makes good people do bad things.
