Seen bits and pieces. Kinda like Family Guy to me... some of it is funny, but most of it is ridiculously stupid so it can't hold my attention.


Granted, it's not Masterpiece Theater, but you do have Homer Simpson as your avitard.

People of all faiths (including those without a faith) love to use it as an excuse to kill civilians of a different faith (or without a faith). To think your particular faith is immune is to be quite shortsighted.

Looks like a baptist offshoot in India was going on a killing and conversion through rape spree in 2001... apparently they were funding some of their activities by selling the porn of hindis they kidnapped and forced to have sex... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Liberation_Front_of_Tripura

And in the 70s in Lebanon you've got the Karantina Massacre and the Tel al-Zaatar massacre http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karantina_massacre http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tel_al-Zaatar_massacre

We probably shouldn't forget that christian pro-life groups have firebombed abortion clinics (seems to occur about once a year in the US).. and murdered a couple people.

Some group calling itself "The Army of God" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_God_(United_States) has been around a couple decades.

The Americas, arguably, are a product of religious terrorism. Anybody seen an indigenous person recently?

Helloooooo... I'm surrounded by Indian casinos.

Times have changed. What happened back then happened. Was it right? Nope. But it was happening world freakin' wide.

The religion perpetrating the vast majority of terrorism NOW is Islam. Everyone else has evolved.

Yep, I'd prolly be plucking rice in southeast China if the European Christians didn't want to convert everybody in the New World a few centuries ago...
