--- Quote from: beachbum111111 on January 26, 2017, 02:51:43 AM ---I guess what I'm trying to say is that with Christians it was generally lower until it petered out. That never happened with Islam --- End quote --- I mean, other things petered out at the same time. Christian-majority nations became more stable, richer, and industrialized. The Middle East was held back a lot by conflict and colonialism. It's not like the only difference here is 'we're christians and you're not'. I do think my original question was important though, which is, why do you actually draw the line arbitrarily between Christianity and Islam? Why can't both be violent? |

my question is: is the state of violence in the middle east attributed to islam, or is it just the political landscape? in other words, is the claim here that if christianity, buddhism, or any other religion were instead dominant in the region, that would have stopped the violence from ever happening? speaking purely on the idea that islam directly, uniquely leads to violence |
