Considering your stance on certain issues, I'd say this was right up your alley. You wouldn't happen to be a Muslim would you?

Sorry, I don't qualify because I am not in favor of throwing homosexuals from the tops of tall buildings. Just one small trait I lack.

You keep mixing up your bad actors.

Saudis are the subject of the OP. Impossible to argue that women are treated with respect in Saudi Arabia and that many of their laws and their version of Islamic interpretation aren't backwards, misogynistic and out of place in this day and age.

ISIS or ISIL are the terrorists who get their jollies tossing gays from rooftops. I would go out on a limb though and guess you are in with the crowd that believes that being gay is a curable disease.

It does seem odd when Allah, blessings be upon him, was into little girls.

How many child brides and sanctioned rapes are in the Bible?

I'll wait for your answer, while you go research that thoroughly.

The Bible is pretty much made up stuff from like a billion years ago.

The threat from global radical Islam is probably the biggest threat facing world peace and human rights today.

And yet, the Catholic Church has issues with child molestation:

And that's just the ones we know about.

Hate to bust your bubble, but more Americans have died from each other than 30 years of radical terrorism. Unless you want to pull up some stats to say otherwise?

the koran is pretty much made up stuff from way back when.

the threat of global radical islam will not be checked by attacking a 'holy book' anymore than censoring huck finn erases our racist history.

i didn't ask what a religious war is..i should have remembered to include the word 'successfully' and 'eradicate'. how would this play out, logistically, "us declares war on islam" and explain what methods of attack would be used and what you expect their effectiveness to be. 22 percent of the world is going to be quite a messy undertaking.
