From my thread about "Peaceful Muslims"...see link at bottom

The following was a reply I made to Cactoblasta in response to his comment, copied below....I thought I would post the whole thing as an article, because I think it says at least a little something about our situation in the world.---RW
There were the purges in Bosnia a few years back and the religious violence in Ambon (which continues to this day).

That was localized violence; I'm talking about an organized mass movement. There is much more Muslim violence against others in the world than Christian. Muslims in Africa are engaged in terrible anti-Christian violence every day, but I don't see that mentioned in your post.
Here, let me help; I Googled "Muslim Violence against Christians" and here are some results:

and here's one about your beloved, peaceful, non-violent Indonesian Muslims:

Here's a line from that article for those who may not get through the whole thing----

"Christians make up between 9 percent and 16 percent of Indonesia’s population. Indonesia is a democracy with a constitutionally guaranteed freedom of religion. It also has the largest Muslim population of any nation in the world, and violence against the Christian minority has steadily continued over the past decade.


In general, Western news media have done an inadequate job of covering this story. News reports tend to describe Indonesia’s violence as generically "sectarian," as if Muslim and Christian extremists were mutually responsible. This is troubling and flatly false. The bloodshed is overwhelmingly provoked and carried out by Islamic militants against the Christian minority. Over the past decade, hundreds of thousands of persons have been displaced and thousands killed in this anti-Christian campaign of violence."

Here's yet another link, this one about anti-Christian violence in Pakistan:

There were many, many more. However, when I Googled "Christian Violence against Muslims" I got.....nothing. I was amazed. Usually there's something, but no. I'm not kidding; I literally was shocked to find no mention of real Christian-Muslim violence. I found articles with names like

"Dialogue with stupid blind faith Christian"
and
"Voices of Youth: Why are Muslims discriminated against?"

Granted, I didn't have time to do a very in-depth search, but what I got says quite a bit. I got a lot of Muslim whining, I got articles about Christians leaving the Middle East and other Muslim-dominated nations, and why was that? Discrimination and violence against them by the Muslim majority. Hmmmm......
Meanwhile, we have predominently Christian Europe (and America, truth be told) bending over backward trying to cater to these hardcases and to get them to assimilate into Western culture. It ain't happenin', man.
