It didn’t take long for the shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado, Oklahoma on Friday to be exploited for cynical political ends. After three bodies were carted away to the morgue Colorado Springs, memes began to spring up everywhere (on facebook, twitter, reddit and other places) comparing the shooting to Islamic terrorism, and in doing so downplaying the suffering of its victims. A truly shocking exercise in cold, emotionless manipulation if ever there was one.
The memes, though multitudinous, differed from each other only very slightly. The most popular ‘Willy Wonka’ variant was typical: against the backdrop of a smiling Gene Wilder (taken from my favourite childhood movie), the text read as follows: “Christian extremist kills 3 people at an abortion clinic…Tell me again how Syrian refugees are a threat.”
You don’t need more than a few operational brain cells to perceive the startling un-worldliness of this sentiment. Indeed, many people on social networks have recoiled from the image in revulsion or responded to it with loud mockery. How on earth can one tragic, stupid action – the first of its kind in years – measure up to the daily bloodbath of Political Islam? How can one action – brutal, awful and yet discriminating – be placed in the same ethical category as the bombing of market-places, funeral parades, Parisian restaurants and concert venues?
Since the outrage in Colorado was committed, Christians across America have disowned the force behind it, branding him ‘psychopathic’, ‘crazed’, ‘lunatic’ and (most crucially) ‘un-Christian’. Compare that to the icy silence and tacit approval of Muslims communities after outrages in the West.
Let’s be clear – there has been no major Christian terror attack (that is, a terror attack committed explicitly for Christian theological motivations) in Europe or America for the last 100 years. There have been murders, random and cruel all, but nothing of the same malevolent grade as Islam manages to inspire on a daily basis.
The attacks in Norway in 2011 were not Christian. I don’t believe Anders Behring Breivik had a Christian bone in his body. The troubles of Northern Ireland don’t count either (despite the enthusiasm with which Islamic apologists bring them up). The Catholics of Ulster do not hate the Protestants of Ulster for religious reasons, but for ethnic and national reasons. Ulster Protestants are descendants of British colonisers and remain loyal to their imperial sponsors. The Catholics are native Irish who wish to have the northern corner of their island back under Irish control. Whichever way you lean on this, you can surely agree that religion plays no part (apart from the total coincidence of the religious divide between Scots-Irish and Irish which serves as an excuse).
Adherents of Christianity have certainly been violent at various points in history, but the period since they behaved in a way comparable to the adherents of Islam is measured in centuries. Let no one deny reality, or history, or seek to deform them into a reality or history synchronisable with their bigotries.
Islamic violence has no equivalent in other faiths.

The Pro-Choice Nazis are out in full force blaming Christianity as if thousands of innocent pregnant women were being beheaded by the Jesus freaks.
This is why wealthy Lefties live outside of the hood and away from the general population. The view is better.
Talk about a proxy war!

Whenever I get into discussion (usually online) with people who bring up examples like these to portray Islam and Christianity as morally equivalent, I ask them how many Christian terror attacks there have been. They’ll occasionally link to a wikipedia article on anti-abortion violence, or cherry-pick a few incidents, rarely more than a dozen. Oklahoma, Utøya, Charleston Church shooting are usually included.
Then I respond…
“Wow, that is too many. But Christian terrorism is certainly rare enough that each individual event makes the news. Because the BBC did a comprehensive study, and found that in a typical month, there’s so many attacks by Islamic jihadists, most don’t make the news – you’ve never heard of them. They found that in a typical month, there are 660 (yes, six hundred and sixty) attacks by radical Islam. I challenge you to find me any month with 60 Christian attacks… Or even six. I know you won’t, because you can’t. There aren’t that many. Link here: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-30080914 ”
That usually shuts them up – particularly since the BBC is one of the sources approved by our intellectual betters in the leftist / multiculturalist school of thought. Linking to thereligionofpeace.com won’t help because it’s too aggressive. But this is an easy win in debates, and you don’t have to delve in to Muhammad’s personal history or start citing quranic passages. The numbers simply don’t allow any other interpretation.

You mean, they don’t answer you with “But if it weren’t for the Anglo Christians, none of this would exist” logic? After which we can go back to the original reason why US Marines were founded, and then of course, their reply being that it was the various [EuroNation]-Indies companies which pissed them off, and so on… back to the beginning of time, when everyone was from the River Niger, or whatever, and white people are freaks of melanin pigment and they stole all the inventions ever invented from the dark-skinned people. LOL! They win. 🙂

That’s a fascinating statistic – 660 a month. I would have guessed much lower. Just goes to show how much self-censorship the media exercises.

There’s a constant steady “drizzle” of Muslim jihad attacks in Southern Thailand, for example. If you look up the “Bangkok Post” online and then go to the section of their website where they cover such things – they do have a section that covers the ongoing low-level ‘jihad-by-attrition’ in the south of Thailand, though of course they don’t call it Jihad – you see attack after attack after attack. But because each attack usually kills one or two people at a time – a monk here, a lady schoolteacher there, a village security chief over there – it isn’t spectacular enough to register on the International News media. It only gets into the local press.
Just as, in the media outside of Israel there is almost no coverage of the ongoing Stabbing Jihad (and Rock-Throwing Jihad, and Running-Over-With-Cars Jihad) that Muslim Arabs are conducting against Jews in Israel right now. Attacks that are attempted but foiled don’t even get a mention – unless the “Palestinian” (sic) Muslim Arab would-be murderer gets killed in the process of being stopped. But the attempts are part of the picture. Every one of the attackers who got stopped (often without being actually killed) fully intended to ritually murder one or more Jews; this is what the western / non-Israeli media is ignoring.
Stats on the Stabbing Intifada, which began around Jewish New Year 2015 and continues today. A staggering 2800 individual attacks (counting all the cases in which murderous Muslims threw rocks at Jews with intent to wound and/ or kill). Vast majority of attacks aimed by Muslim Arabs at Jewish civilians. One must also factor in the fact that the death toll – 21 innocent Jews murdered so far – would be nearly twice that number if the many who were severely wounded (but not killed outright) had not been instantly whisked away to top-class Israeli medical facilities – i.e. many victims only survived because the Israelis are so good at first aid and trauma medicine.

I’ve noticed many Thai people (the non-Muslims) are very Islamophobic. They’ve had to put up with a lot. It seems no country pm Earth has avoided enrichment.
On the Israel point, you’re right to count the attacks that failed. Imagine if every rocket fired by Hamas had hit someone? The death toll would be colossal. Attempted murder is every bit as evil as murder.
