It is from the show South Park. It is the character named Eric Cartman. The show is very good. It is a little vulgar though. They have a lot of creative concepts and are able to discuss current events.

I feel that any religion which can spawn so many fanatical and brutal murderers must have satanic roots.

That's kind of stupid since Satan hardly kills anyone in the Bible.

Slowly, ( well maybe not so slowly) Islam is having a devastating impact on western society and is challenging the freedoms which so many people sacrificed their lives to retain.

Probably due to jealousy.

The rest of your post goes away from imagining a world without Muslims, so I am not sure if I should respond at all.

Interesting. The Philippines are majority Catholic, Vietnam is split between 6 religions (none of the major ones being Islam), Europe (obviously) is predominantly Christian, and Indonesia, while it certainly has its problems, is nothing like Afghanistan, Pakistan or Yemen, the three of which are nothing like the UAE or Saudi Arabia.

Incidentally, the places where Islam takes its most violent forms are the poorest, least developed countries. That also applies to Christianity, where its most violent forms are located in the poorest countries, such as African Christian countries that execute homosexuals and employ female genital mutilation alongside general female oppression (including forcing them to wear headscarves).

Do you really not see a socioeconomic link there?

Europe is being attacked by the Islamists from the Middle East. We don't see the kinds of violence you are referring to in Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, or Thailand. In those regions you have the standard hate every other religion complex that is seen with religions.

30 years war. 80 years war. The Schmalkaldic Wars, the French Wars of religion, which encompassed eight different wars, not to mention literally all of the Troubles caused by hatred between Catholics and Protestants. Not to forget all of the Jacobite invasions, and this is just in Britain alone. The Northern Crusades, and the first Crusade itself.

We know today that the supposed 'atrocities' committed by Muslims in the middle east were inflated to sound much more vicious than they were. Most Christian actually lived happily in Seljuk-controlled Palestine, as long as they paid the Jizya. We all know that the Crusades were just a ploy for Urban II to unify Christendom, as there was already the dispute with Clement III to deal with. It was also an opportunity for Alexios Komnenos to retake the land lost by his predecessor's incompetence, and supposedly restore the Byzantine Empire.

And let's not forget the amazing brutalities committed by Christians during the Crusades. Like the MULTIPLE bands of Crusaders, specifically those led by Peter the Hermit, who decided that it was too much hassle trying to reach Jerusalem, and instead resolved that looting and pillaging the Serbian and Hungarian countryside was the best option. Their relentless slaughter of Jews and the Byzantine garrisons defending them meant that they had killed many Christians, many Byzantines and many, many Jews by the time they reached Constantinople, with not one Muslim slain to their name.

Once they finally got over into Turkish territory, it wasn't better. Because it was Seljuk land, the Crusaders said that they could basically do whatever they want, like, I dunno, slaughter all the civilians. And that they did. All the inhabitants of Western Anatolia, nearly all of whom were Greek speaking Christians who had been Roman subjects just years ago, were killed without mercy and their towns burned, because they belonged to the Turks and hey, all's fair in love and war.

And once they finally DID get to Jerusalem, what happened? Oh yeah, everyone died. The Crusaders got in and started killing everything they could. Muslim, Jew and gentile alike. Slaughtered by the thousands by bloodthirsty knights. Only the Prince Tancred tried to halt the massacre, by offering Muslims shelter in a mosque. By the time he had returned from fighting, every one of them had been murdered.

This was just the first crusade. Let's not forget that there were almost ten more, each with a corresponding level of brutality. Talk of Muslim aggression is overplayed by a lot. And even if this supposed 'oppression' was NEARLY as bad as you claim it to be, it certainly does not justify the wholesale slaughter of thousands of people by these supposed liberators.

A problem cannot be redressed until it is addressed. Unfortunately the problem cannot even be addressed as according to a few people who must have been living on the moon for the last couple of decades, Muslims do not represent a threat. ''The degree of liberalism which people afford a particular problem is always in direct proportion to their distance from that problem''.

I didn't disagree that religious extremists are a a threat to humanity. currently it is the Islamic faith that has the title the most brutal followers of God. in the early written history it was the Hebrews killing those with different Gods for a while it was the Christians killing those of a different faith. The point I was making is that people use religion as a reason to kill others or discriminate against others. It is a detriment to humanity for religious people to judge others based on their religious belief system. To clarify my comment: (sexism) in some religions females have no standing; I was siting islamaphobia as one of the (religious based hatreds); (misguided ancient deity based morality), the religious hatred of homosexuals; martyrdom people who in the name of god are willing blow themselves up in a crowd of infidels or to kill the people at an abortion clinic. What my point was that humanity would be much better without that religious garbage.
