Islamofacism?

Well, congratulations to the College Republicans. They have yet again managed to throw an event with more protesters than attendees.

Why all the focus on Islamofascism anyway? You said yourselves that American Muslims tend to be quite moderate (mostly in line with the general population). The only real threat to America I read about was terrorism, and let’s face it, not only are you more likely to die being struck by lightning than by terrorists, but most terrorism in the U.S. is not Islamic (Tim McVeigh and Eric Rudolph spring to mind).

So given that Islam holds very little threat to us, our lives, and our liberty, why not focus on the religion that does: Christianity.

Yes, they’re out there, Christofascists. Bombing abortion clinics, passing laws against sodomy, murdering gays and the like. Now, approximately 4 percent of the U.S. population is gay (12 million), and 26 million women have abortions every year. This is quite a bit more people than are affected by Islamofascism.

Clearly Christofascism is a much greater menace, far more worthy of our time and effort.

Or we could just recognize that extremists of any religion are @$$-holes instead of focusing on one entire religion in particular.
