Fifty people are dead, and Obama STILL refuses to address the problem of Islamic terrorism. What the hell did I expect from a man who claimed that ISIS - the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria - isn't an Islamic organization.
There are millions of other Muslims that practice their religion and would NEVER commit acts of terrorism. Islam and terrorism are NOT synonymous.
So by your logic, the Ku Klux Klan are practicing Christianity. In other news, my faith in humanity has been found dead due to intentionally failing to replicate the moment when Happy Days stopped being good.
The fact remains that of all major modern religions, Islam is the only one that still widely encourages and practices violence.
While right-wing ideologues are busy trying to paint all Muslims with the "terrorist" brush, the predominantly Muslim Kurds are actually working to get rid of ISIS via force of arms.
When was the last time the Klan beheaded a child? Yeah, they're a bunch of racist a-holes, but they're not child-killers and rapists.
The Klan was a violent organization throughout most of the 20th century. And just because something happened a long time ago doesn't make it any different from what is going on currently.
Actually, it makes all the difference. Christianity was once a savage cult responsible for atrocities like witch burnings and the Spanish Inquisition. It changed with the times. Islam was once a faith that promoted the indiscriminate slaughter of nonbelievers. Today, Islam is a faith that, at it's fundamental level, promotes the indiscriminate slaughter of nonbelievers. And apparently also gay dudes in nightclubs.
