Runaway did your account get hacked or are you just upping the alcohol intake to prepare for the holidays? This shit seems a little less balanced than usual...

With Runaway, I usually just check the phase of the moon. Rather reliable indicator. Not claiming causation, but correlation is good enough for prediction. And who would mod down this inquiry into the health of one of our fellow Soylentils! If we don't check up on each other, only the NSA will!

I'm afraid that you haven't followed very carefully. Islam is an enemy of just about everybody who isn't Muslim. Islam has factions within it who positively hate everyone who isn't Muslim. It further has factions who positively hate everyone who isn't the correct flavor of Islam.
Look at the mideast. For as long as the mideast has been there, they have been plagued with violence. Things haven't gotten any better since Islam was established. It's the old status quo of kill everyone who isn't like you, with the addition of a hateful religion.
I've been saying as much for as long as I've been on the internet, which is much much longer that there has been a Soylentnews.
Please, show me a nation which has any significant Muslim population which is NOT routinely rocked by terrorist attacks, routine mass executions, slavery, arranged marriages of children,
You know, what really puzzles me about various people who stick up for Islam is, many of them are the very same people who bash Christianity. They don't understand that all the things they find wrong with Christianity is also wrong with Islam, but a couple orders of magnitude worse.

So basically no different than the other Abrahamic religions. Cool story, brah.

You're still not paying attention.
Judaism had a direct relationship with a God who was loving and abusive in turns.
Christianity had a direct relationship with the Son of God, who was loving and forgiving of sins.
Islam was founded by a murderous individual who usurped both of the earlier religions, and appropriated God to justify his violence. Unlike the other two religions, he commanded his followers to kill off the infidels, or to enslave them.
Have you ever read the Quran, or read a biography of Mohammed? If you have, you apparently learned little from it.
