The extremists will blow you up while the "moderates" legislate against you.

This same statement can be applied to Christians, too, right? Extremist Christians have been known to bomb abortion clinics. Christians have also been fighting to turn the United States into a theocracy. We've seen a recent election where Christians openly state the belief that you have to swear on the bible to serve in congress.

What's the phrase I see get thrown around a lot? "Whataboutism"? "But her emails"?

Not all ideologies are equal. Christianity has its problems, but it's also been through multiple reformations and has significantly softened its stance on a lot of issues. Every attempt to reform Islam has thus far resulted in the reformists being murdered. If you really want to compare the two, we can compare the two on a belief-by-belief basis in terms of official stances, and I can 100% assure you Christianity will come out on top as the far more moderate belief structure, much like how it would look far more extreme compared to Buddhism and all of them would look mild compared to the Aztec religion.

EDIT: And to be clear, I've spent a lot of time studying both. Christianity has a built in persecution complex... you're meant to suffer and be oppressed until you die as a reward to get into heaven. Islam has a built in conquest narrative and the result is a much bigger push towards conversion. Jesus was a pacifist. Muhammad was a warrior. It's not crazy to say the two are fundamentally different and that difference bleeds into nearly all their canonical positions on social issues.

Christianity hasnt been through a reformation. Not any recent ones anyway

Rephrased because sanic has trouble with thinking critical

Hate crimes are dumb and shouldn't exist.

That said, what an idiot for claiming Jewish for no reason and getting beat for it.

You mean rephrased because you did a quick Google search and realized there is an entire period called the Reformation that was specifically about Christianity reforming.

But hey, since you think it would be smart to attack my critical thinking, here's a question for you: who said it had to be a recent reformation? Christianity is an older religion, it's had more time to fix itself. The Reformation, the Council of Nicea 1 and 2, the Council of Trent. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

He's the only one thinking rationally

Intending to commit a hate crime isn't a crime, which is ultimately all he did
