Christians’ Criticism of Islam

One note about right wing Christian nutjobs who feel threatened by any member of the society who is not heterosexual, male or white, is that as much as they hate Muslims for their faith and support discriminating against them on the basis of their illusions, they would be recruited by Taliban had they were born in Pakistan. Christian fundamentalists don’t hate Islam because it’s pathetic and despotic, they hate it because Christian dogma teaches them intolerance. If they sincerely hated pathetic and despotic beliefs they wouldn’t be called “Christians” in the first place. They advocate discrimination against Muslims because of the unfortunate event that their (i.e. Muslims’) accident of birth took place in an Islamic family. Furthermore as a general rule, competing death cults don’t look at each other favourably.

Having made that clear however, most of the criticism of Islam by Christians is valid and sound, but they form such arguments with a bias towards their own faith. That is to say, they would have no problem in recognising contradictions and violence in Islam, although they would deny it if one were to argue that such absurdities also exist in Christianity.

Now a question that a non-believer might ask would be:

“Is it rational to defend one dangerous religion in order to weaken a more dangerous one?”

Although this might seem to be a reasonable reaction, I just can’t see how one can be on the side of Christian fundamentalists and follow what they seem to find to be aligned with their faith and not unjustly discriminate against people of other faiths or no faith at all. Christianity is not the right defense against Islamofascism, secularism however is.
