The horrors of this century are all being committed by Muslims. The horrors
of the last century, which you reference, were very small cults, aberrations
of Christianity. However, the main horrors of the last century were
committed by leftist ideologues, like ****** and Stalin and Mao, etc. In
other words, they were like you that way since you are also nothing but a
leftist ideologue.

Not right now today they aren't.

The great statistic of believing what you see with your own two eyes.

But all those men (and women) turn out to be Muslims. Most peculiar? Or just

Sure I do. It is a simple religion for simple people. Anyone who is not an

You do nothing but that. You are doing it in this present post of yours.
Muslims commit murders, so do Christians. Blah, blah, blah. How tiresome!

Flattery will get you nowhere with me. You must appeal to my intellect if

Nope, we Christians and other civilized types do not stone anyone, let alone
little girls, for having "dishonored" some male ape with a bit of sexual
experimentation. Frank, you g.d. blockhead, you are a ****ing idiot and I am
really getting fed up with you. You may yet force me to go to a dictionary
of invective to get some new names to call you. Just calling you an idiot
doesn't do justice to what you are.

Men who are religious fanatics do exactly what we see them doing. Today it
is only Muslims who embody this degree of fanaticism. They are not crazy and
they are brave and courageous. They are giving their lives for a cause that
they believe in.
Time to wake up Frank and touch reality before you find yourself flying
through the ether, just another victim of a "sick twisted individual." Now
please excuse me while I go to the smallest room in my house and puke while
I think of you and your ****ed up philosophy.

But not lately. And lately is all I care about at the moment.
