Dave made this comment in another thread:
First of all, I'm not entirely sure what is meant by pro-Islam. It seems silly to me to support a religion without actually being part of that religion. I haven't noticed any of that going on anywhere. What I have seen a little bit of is people defending Muslims from unfair stereotyping and fear mongering and being treated like they're terrorists. I wouldn't call that pro-Islam.
Regarding Christianity, I think whatever backlash there is against it comes from the fact that it plays such a huge role in American politics and generally people don't want
unshared religious beliefs imposed on them through government policy (gay rights, abortion, etc). That, and many Christians continue to dispute several scientific consensuses and want school curriculum to reflect that accordingly.
Discuss.
I figured it could make for a decent discussion. I don't have a whole lot to say about it at the moment, but I did want to reply and hopefully get a conversation started.dDave said:What I'm actually confused about is why some people are so pro-Islam but are against Christianity so vehemently. Doesn't make sense to me (if anyone wishes to discuss this in-depth then take it to another thread)
