Xtianity, the religion of tolerance and love. So much better than all the other barbaric, backwards, heathen religions...

My God's better than your God, but then I'm a Frisbeeterian.
I believe that when you die your soul goes up on the roof or into a tree where no one can reach it.
For the record I'm an atheist and I think religion as a concept is mostly bunk. But I'm also not in the business of pretending that certain religions aren't more problematic than others.
Yes, the US has issues with small groups of Christian fundamentalists. But they aren't immigrating to Canada in large numbers. Meanwhile:

Yes, Islam has issues with small groups of religious extremists...
Just a couple bad apples who make up ~4% of the population yet seem to cause a lot of trouble. For a country that's 63% Christian you'd think we'd be seeing a lot more cross burning...

Not a popular thing to criticize Islam, while Christianity is always open season.
4% -> "a lot" of trouble

Those small groups of Christian extremists are mostly responsible for interfering in women’s health care in the US and arguably prolonging the issues in the Middle East (through US policy). Since these issues are also arguably the most dangerous globally I’d say that’s quite a lot of influence these extremists have.
“The American Taliban” is a very apt name.
They're all shiite. Pun intended.
Just pointing out that xtianity isn't without problems either. If we're going to stack rank fairytales here...

Think of what the Holy Roman Catholic Church has done over the centuries in the Name of God.
God (if one exists) doesn't kill people, people kill people - for all the wrong reasons.
A slight skew but a while back I figured out why the Bible came down so hard on homosexuality.
When it was written wars were fought by people with upper body strength throwing rocks at each other. The more rock throwers you had the more likely you were to win. Gays don't have kids and therefore are not doing their part. Domination by procreation.
