It has at times.

It's the other way around.

Christianity's reputation, like the reputation of many organizations, has been marred over the years just by having so many members. You get some bad apples based on probability alone.

But it's not the religion per se. It's each member's relationship with that religion.

Kinda like the Force and Siths vs Jedis.

Jihadism? Are them the ones what sent manufacturing to the far east? are them the ones what forclosed on yer house? do Jihadi Jacks have a lien on yer car? do you pay taxes that end up in Jihad pockets, do they sell you sh it instead of food. How about global warming? Is that them? If the west stopped arming and paying and training the scum bag faux Jihadists would slither away like worms.

So, is that like each students relationship with their political science prof? Some mighty radical kids and adults out there.

Bombing the crap out of countries, murdering their women and children, invading them, destroying their infrastructure, killing their leaders.... leads to retaliation. GTF out of their countries and this so called terrorism will stop, because, to them, we are the terrorists.
Nonsense. Bombing the crap out of countries, murdering women and children, invading, destroying infrastructure, and killing leaders is terrorism.

Bombing the crap out of countries, murdering women and children, invading, destroying infrastructure, and killing leaders is honour.

See? Not that hard. Here, maybe this Kool-Aid will help you understand it.

Been done. It goes like this. . .

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He hath trampled out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on!

This would be the Lord who loves us and sent us the Prince of Peace to command us to love each other.

Different set of enemies.

are them the ones what forclosed on yer house? do Jihadi Jacks have a lien on yer car?

Different set of enemies. Internal enemies.

do you pay taxes that end up in Jihad pockets,

Yup, to the extent they organize and obtain Section 501(c) tax exempt status.

do they sell you sh it instead of food.

Let me think about that and get back to you.

How about global warming? Is that them?

Yup, bunch of hydrocarbon pushers.

If the west stopped arming and paying and training the scum bag faux Jihadists would slither away like worms.

Most phenomena in life are the result of multiple causes. They are not one dimensional. Removing one cause does not mean that the entire phenomenon will disappear. You ignore history and political theory, as well as religious zeal.

Want me to explain further?

Yeah ... only 'cuz you read to be just as rabid, radical and intolerant as the rabid radical intolerants - innie or outie

We are all multi-dimensional, and can operate at many different levels. When one is in the midst of a forest fire one defensive technique is to set a backburn. It's called fighting fire with fire.

...until such a time as weather does as weather does and they both get away on you. Then it's called a wildfire.

Justify it however you want. What happens if you're not right?

Different set of enemies.

A boxed collection of different holiday flavours individually wrapped for your western tasteless buds, all serve the one true material god, central banking and the traveling false flag circus.

It won't stop then either. They are blowing each other up in Iraq because they disagree on their interpretation of the same religion. Sort of like the Protestants and Catholics in Ireland. There will always be something to fight about.

Actually, the Northern Ireland thing was primarily about politics (which country Northern Ireland should belong to). Religion was simply a convenient surrogate.

They will need aircraft carriers and a space program to defeat the present "only worldwide religion", Money Imperialism. I think you might have had to much hash with your corn flakes this morning.

Cliffy looks out his window and doesn't see any islamists anywhere. Therefore it is easy to be who he is.

But Cliffy would not be prepared to bow down to Mecca 7 times a day... but if they were in his face he would.

You get in your closet and you are still surrounded by them

Warmongers using religion as a smokescreen, it isn't like the trend isn't some 1600 years old already. (the RCC (and the Church of England)is as fuked as they come, nice to see you make excuses for them though.
