    It’s absolutely not. This is your post 9/11 bias showing. Islam, historically has been less genocidal than Christianity.

    Much of the colonization of Africa, the Americas, and other regions was done in the name of Christianity, through that there were many genocides of indigenous peoples. Many wars were fought over the flavor of Christianity after the reformation.

    Religion, in general, causes people to do vile things. But Christianity has more blood on its hands than Islam.

        Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr my anecdotal experience outweighs objective historyyyyy

        (Just clarifying I am not denying the Armenian genocide but seriously this person is so off base it’s just incredible they can still breathe, Christianity is basically the driving force behind an unbelievably high amount of deaths and the death toll has never stopped going up)

          I’m saying that Islam now is a more aggressive and genocidal religion. You can go suck horse dicks

        I am not saying Islam did not result in genocide. I am not denying the armenian genocide. All I am saying is, you can’t say Islam has caused more genocide than Christianity. Islam has a lot of blood on its hands too, religion in general does.

          Usually when speaking in present time we mean present time, ergo not body count, but current activities. Islam is genocidal right now. Christianity right now isn’t.
