Sure. I mentioned Christianity’s checkered history WRT violence. I’m booked. I stand by what I said:

I don’t think that Sh’ia vs Sunni was what Lewis was referring to there. He was well aware of the fact that terrorists were in both groups. I believe he meant the fundamentalist wing of Islam that wanted to purify the religion and go back to what it considers the source – Musllim Brotherhood types, etc.

Regarding Christianity and its sects raping murdering and pillaging I first thought,

show some current examples

But then I recalled some recent statements by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church regarding Ukrainians and the rest of Europe. But then he is an ex-“KGB” aparatchk, and maybe not a man of God.

as captain queenan says in the departed ‘we practice deception, what we do not know is engage in self deception’

At the time I felt Bush was gaslighting, trying to push Muslims towards peace. With sufficient power and security, Muslim violence could (in theory) be held in check while we try to gaslight them towards a peaceful mindset. The problem is if we lose sight of the reality ourselves, and/or if our power and security are compromised. With open borders and Muslim refugees, our security are compromised. At which point, there is immense danger particularly if the gaslighting worked on westerners and not Muslims, as was the case.

now the koran has this neat trick, where certain inconvenient passages are abrogated, and sometimes they don’t, so the theological version of ‘noses off, noses on’ the salafi figures represented by wahhab and before him ibn tammiyah insist on the latter view,

I would add a general comment. While Christianity has a checkered history with regard to violence, the world’s Christians today would be unified in an instant against some wacko splinter sect which raped, murdered and abducted in the name of Christ.

I don’t agree so much. Christianity began as a pacifist religion (not in the sense of modern pacifism that rejects all violence, but in the sense of a religion that grants political power to “Caesar”).

Also, the Roman version of Christianity imposed its vision of the religion while suppressing the original documents. In a sense, a divergence. The later wars between Catholics and Protestants was between those who wanted central control vs independent interpretation. It wasn’t due to Christianity itself driving violence. It was humans being human.

so the regime rewarded him by delisting the houthis funding hamas, another qatari client, which apparently fredo biden was involved that would be the older creepy one
