The point is not that Christianity did those things, it's that they did them and then they stopped, usually within 2-3 generations. Cultural change and enlightenment, once started, can occur in a flash
Could be that Islam is at such a flash point, but christianity and islam have been around almost the same amount of time. I will agree that if any country could moderate muslims the US might be the only one that has that chance. Europe is gone beyond hope. Muslims can only moderate by not ghettoizing.
Muslims in India have been around since around the Mughal empire and one can see how well assimilated they are.
Patrick believes that (A) all Muslims nurture violent Muslims, and (B) violent Muslims will continue to be violent for generations
A. Generally yes, this occurs by staying silent or claiming that 'that's not the Islam I practice', which is disingenuous
B. Proof is in the pudding, to date
wealthy Christian, Muslim and Hindu oligarchs - to divert us from solving the greatest threat to our existence, which is the destruction of our environment.
Irrelevant to the topic
Guns ain't gonna fix what the Koch Bros are doing to us
Probably not; Koch brothers are a stain on humanity. Do they support making christianity the national religion?
The idea that ignorant fanatics are an existential threat to Europe or the United States is beyond laughable
I don't think it's an existential threat, per se, but it is an argument for more people being armed for sure and ready to respond when cops can't show up. But then again, guns may be of limited value against someone so crazy to strap bombs to their body and detonate them in a crowd. Having moderate muslims simply throwing their arms up in the air and saying 'this is not the islam I practice' is effectively empty rhetoric.

Does it get any more Anti American than trying to force your shitty, childish ‘religion’ on the rest of us Real Americans?
And if Jesus was alive today, he'd be washing the feet of People without Borders.
