None of it comes close to a fraction of the violence that has been carried out in the name of Christianity.

What is the most recent example you can think of?

Great question. Not a fan of people just randomly being like - "YEAH BUT CHRISTIANITY AND JUADISM DOES IT TOO"

Like shit, when it the last time you heard of someone in the Christian faith beheading someone because they're teaching something that goes against the bible? Or for the Jewish people, the torah. That'd be some frontpage news shit as well. Peoples heads are supposed to stay ON THEIR BODY.

Just look at history. The world is the way it is largely because of Christian violence. Christians took over 3 continents in the name of their God and massacred almost everyone who didn't convert. Its not a mistake that other religions are mostly regional. The map is the scoreboard. Thats why the three southern continents are mostly Christian. Don't pretend like the crusades never happened or the Spanish conquests or Christopher Columbus etc. Hundreds of millions killed in the name of Christian God yet you want to act like isolated maniacs killing people here and there defines islam.

These straw men arguments are not sensible.
Civilisation progresses over time.
Religion especially christianity has dissipated I believe due to the progress of science and general rise in educational standards.
There is nothing wrong with Christian's or muslims per say.
However, Muslims do not integrate well into western societies. They remain apart and insular.
As their populations swell you will see a lot more friction perhaps born out of fear.
I don't see a happy ending when that scenario reaches critical mass.
These kind of hacking up old ladies and teachers events which look to be broadly supported when you see the real reactions of muslim crowds burning flags and many calling for more deaths or ex prime ministers saying they could be justified to kill millions of French civilians is only going to feed that fear and increase the friction. Regardless of who started it or whatever it is simply a recipe for disaster and there will always be trouble.

Better to retain Muslims in broadly Muslim countries and let them do their own thing.
If the French want to make little cartoons to sell to other French people let them do their thing and have their free speech.
Diversity and all this trying to make the fox live with chicken is simply a cluster fuck for all involved.

I don't really know much about religion but from discussing briefly with some muslim guys who were nice blokes and heaped lots of great praise on my bodybuilding achievements, which naturally I lapped up. It would seem being a muslim is quite good for males. Feminism which I strongly disagree with is not popular at all with these guys and it all seems to work out very nicely with lots of sensible rules for males and females. I was kind of tempted to join up or look into it a little bit more, but apparently there are some pretty serious draw backs for recreational activities.

Both Christians and muslims have some sensible core tenets, but hardliners on either side simply will never accept the other side.
Better to keep them apart. I'm not against any religion but I don't think trying to force your views on anyone is acceptable these days. It never should have been either. We're all just trying to make sense of a largely confusing experience called life. Some choose religion some choose science some try not to think about it too much and just enjoy tv and a pizza.
Stop breeding everyone for a bit, give us all a bit more space and room. Do your own thing leave others to do theirs.

Killing people although perhaps satisfying at the time is not a sensible long term solution however angry you are.
Or if you must then don't pick an old granny to hack apart in public that's just unsportsmanly on all levels.
You are unhappy with certain actions then you must go to the root and find those directly responsible.
But really killing people is not the answer.
