While I hesitate to jump right in to making you look more ridiculous than you do already, I really can't resist.
Firstly, though I really shouldn't, allow me a quick generalization: "conservatives" tend to be more religious than "liberals". Religion is by default not based in reason. Ergo, conservatives are less able to reason than liberals.
Wasn't that fun?
...no, it was meaningless. Just like the tripe that you posted above.
So Christians have not murdered anyone in historic context in centuries. Except for Hitler.
Oh, ok. Well, Muslims have not murdered anyone in historic context in centuries. Except al-Quaeda.
Uh oh, we're at an impasse. Are you seeing how stupid this is yet? For every arbitrary qualification you attempt to place over the issue to prove your point about Islam, I can bring one up about Christianity. Ad nauseam. I could do it all night. (By the way, don't start arguing with me about whether my Muslim statement was true - technically it isn't, but neither was your Christian statement. I'm just making a point here.)
But the fact of the matter is this: Islam, at the moment, is the religion of the populace in a part of the world marred by the remnants of imperialism, massive ethnic strife, and continuing, deadly competition for resources. Does it really surprise you that Islam is being used as the tool of choice for manipulating the masses, by extremists? It's simple-minded of you to think that the answer is as simple as "Islam bad, Christianity good."
