Re: Terror Attack In Paris [W:157]
No, the fact that laws exist prohibiting murder in no way prevent Christian extremists from going on similar rampages. Likewise, the fact that murders in the US are often caught has no bearing on why Christian rampagers are so rare. The simple fact is that religous rampagers tend to ignore laws they dont like and do not really care if they are caught by the police.
There are millions of conservative Christians in this nation, almost all of whom have easy access to weapons. Yet rampages by Christians are very, very rare. The reason why is there are key differences between how Islam and Christianity are currently interpreted and practiced:
- Christian nutters do not get affirmed by conservative Christians
- Christian nutters cant draw on alot of direct and indirect support from the Christian community
- The vast, overwhelming majority of Christian religous lkeaders renounce violence. A significant number of Islamic ones endorse it
No, the lynchings were not done in the name of Christianity- well not counting the Salem witch trials. Rather, 3,000 black and about 1,000 whites were lynched because they had violated secular social norms, or were accused of committing various secular crimes. In short, very few of the lynchers were religously motivated. In almost all cases, the perpetrators and the victims were of the same religion.
The reason it is so low in the US NOW is because of our laws, which keep the Christian nutters from doing the same.

Millions of blacks died under slavery, and thousands more were lynched in the South, much of it in the name of Christianity.

Muslim is not a "race". Rather, Muslims can be of any race.You seek to stain a whole race of people with what extremists do.
