I'm kind of almost hesitant to say this, but oh well. I don't think anyone here is a bigot.
Jesus did not tell His followers to chop off the heads of their enemies.
Buddha did not tell his followers to chop off the heads of their enemies.
Mohammed DID tell his followers to chop off the heads of their enemies.
It's there. We cannot keep ignoring it and throwing peat moss and lime on the pile hoping to cover it up and cut the odor. It's just there.
You can find violent scriptures, verses, passages, what have you .... in every religious movement. What you cannot find is the holy and revered ones promoting violence. With the obvious exception of Mohammed, religious leader of Islam.
It doesn't mean every Muslim is following the call to violence. But it is what it is.
I have seen many bigoted statements and opinions displayed here. It is what it is and if I see it I'm going to call it out. No matter how un-PC that might be.
