this is a misleading strip. it implies that Christianity is now "ok," which is not true. ask any bible-thumping fundie. it also implies that Islam is the new threat. also not true; they are at least as old as Christianity if not older, and have always had the same ratio of crazies and fundies.
the problem is religion itself. it is being used as an instrument of fear and control. always has been. on one hand, you have people of the cloth offering solace and comfort. that's a good thing. but it comes at a cost. they want you to do things their way, which is "the one true way." anyone who is different is bad. that's not a good thing.
This may be a lost cause -trying to educate Americans about Islam. In sharia law -which is what most of the killings of Muslims killing Muslims is all about (the "true" Muslims want sharia, the "apostates" evidently don't)), for instance, the testimony of a Muslim woman is worth half that of a Muslim man, except in matters of rape, when the court only takes the "word" of FOUR Muslim men, who testify that the (Muslim) woman was raped. No other witnesses are allowed to testify that is was a rape (no Muslim women's word is accepted -be they a 100!), no Christians, Hindus, etc -Jews! LOL) In matters other than rape, a woman can't win bcs her testimony is alwyas trumped by a Muslim man's -and they can lie with impunity! Mu heard stories from the Bible from Jews and Christians he met in the course of his commercial dealings with them. When Mu made up his new religion (NO Ingeloak, Islam did NOT exist -until around 610 AD when Mu plucked "Allah" from the many gods of the Arabs -to be the one true god, similar in that respect to Judasim, but certainly not like Jesus' God of Love!) So, for example, if there was the story of the woman taken in adultery in the BibleMu made up a similar story. But notice the differences. A pregnant woman is brought to Mu (evidently her husband was away since before she got pregnant). Mu says bring her back to me after the baby is born. They do. Mu says bring her back to me after she weans it. They do. Mu then kills her. The Muslims praise Mu for his mercy in saving the baby (probably a male child!) -altho the woman of course had to be killed. To teach Muslims the importance of the purity of Muslim women. Notice any difference with Jesus' handling of his "adulterous" woman?
Part 2. IF people (calling themselves Christians) kill anyone (not talking about accidentally) they ARE going AGAINST the teachings of Jesus. If Muslims kill ANYONE who THEY deem impeding Islam, they ARE going BY the teachings of Mu. Indeed, that's why Muslims today cut off people's heads. Without considering it a sin. Bcs Mu did that. With his own hands, too! Also, the decapitators are taught that all non-Muslims are going to Hell, & it’s perfectly OK to send them there sooner rather than have them die a natural death later! There are dozens and dozens examples more of the MORAL differences btwn the 2 religions. And Judaism. Yes, the Jews were told to stone people to death in Biblical days. They HAVEN'T done that in 2000 years –or more. Bcs Judaism of the rabbis grew in spirituality, in mercy, love & understanding. Understanding that other people have a right to live. Meanwhile today those Muslims that throw gays off of high bldgs, & have 8 & 10yr-old children stone them to death if they survive the fall, those Mslms think they’re doing Allah’s will! When Mu sent the armies of Islam out to conquer his neighbors, Mu told his warriors when they got to a place of habitation, tell those people, “If you fight us, we will defeat you & then slaughter all of you! Surrender to us, submit to our ruling over you –and you will live. You will have to pay a special tax (that is not imposed on Muslims) to support our armies & the costs of running our govt, but you will not have to convert. However you can’t build any new churches or repair your old ones unless you get our approval.” (And a few hundred other rules to make you thoroly understand you’re dirt beneath the feet of Muslms.) There is NO concept of Universal Human Rights in Islam!
