Yep because there couldn't possibly be other denominations, religions or even atheists?
Also, you can show proof that we were involved in those things because of Christianity and not because of other reasons such as national security, protecting allies, or stopping child predator like koresh right?
Sure, they tolerated the ones that were left, after they had conquered the region and slaughtered many Jews and Christians.
I hope you don't think that the Muslims were always, just there?
Oh, and don't forget all of the KKK's killings. Good ole Christian terrorist group right there.
Excpet teh Russians, of course. Bunch of godless commies who saved the world's ass form Hitler.
And teh simple fact of the matter is their religion wasn't at all a factor in what they did. At all.
Not when the other side is forced to use the sea in order to get boots on the ground.
Weak, dude. You can do better; I know you can.
Dude, there is nothing perfect in this world.
From a historical standpoint, the Ottomans were a wild and crazy bunch.
The let other religions live side by side with the state religion.
They let them live, see in Europe you would be dead or expelled.
Those Christians didn't like the competition to their power.
It's a long read but it largely proves his point.

Less people have been killed by the KKK in the last 50 years than by Islamists in the last 1.
They didn't let them all live...LOL!!!!
I guess you're going to excuse the Holocuast, because this isn't a perfect world? or, 9/11, because this isn't a perfect world? Should we be lucky they didn't kill even more Americans on 9/11?
Good lord. :doh
The Ottomans were the main perps of the Holocaust and 9/11?

They let them live as Dhimmi's and that was only for fellows of the book IE Christians and Jews not Pagans. And prove your assertion regarding all non-Christians being expelled or killed from Europe during that time. They had pogroms but similar events occured within the various Islamic empires as well.
There ya go, putting words in my mouth, again.
The facts are that religious tolerance was expressed more in a Muslim country than it was in Christian countries of that time.
Your choice, to live as a Dhimmi (with all the same or similar rights as a regular citizen) or be killed, expelled, treated as a second class citizen (comparatively speaking)?
Never heard of the Russian Orthodox Church, huh?
Weak, dude. You can do better; I know you can.
That couldn't be farther from the truth.

A far cry indeed from your bilge. What he said on another occasion was that the Sermon on the Mount was "radical." But it certainly didn't seem to anger Daniel Burke, a reporter for the Religion News Service, as he reported in Christianity Today. You might take a cue from his objectivity."I don't think it [a same-sex union] should be called marriage, but I think that it is a legal right that they should have that is recognized by the state," said Obama. "If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans."
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
All that added up = Obama is a Muslim.
The American people are not stupid:
they know where Obama's heart is. Its in Mecca.
But GET A SET OF BALLS and COME OUT as a Muslim.
How many Muslims took the field to destroy al-Qaeda? Care to list them? All I saw was talk after 9/11.
But, since you brought it up; who was it that swooped in the protect all those Muslims from being slaughtered by the Bosnian Serbs? Was it, Christians, perhaps?
No. It was Americans. Many of the American soldiers in Bosnia were Muslim. We don't have an established religion in this country. Yes, I'm sure I read that somewhere...
Source for your claim? I doubt very highly the number of American Muslim soliders even approached 3% of the military considering these numbers in 2000:
There are 5 million to 7 million Muslims in the United States. They make up between 10,000 and 20,000 members of the American military.

Only because Christians have been around longer. However, I think it's safe to say that Christians have done a far better job of policing wack job Christians than Muslims have done policing wack job Muslims.
I'll rephrase, owing to thoughtless semantics on my part:
Muslims were among the American soldiers fighting in Bosnia and Kosovo.
But my main point remains: it wasn't Christians that saved Bosnia and Kosovo: it was Americans - Muslims, Christians, athiests, Jews, and others.
