Same could be said for Christianity.

Same could be said for Judaism.

Same could be said for Marxism.

Same could be said for (insert ideology people have used to commit violent acts here).

Are you saying we should eradicate ideologies to prevent people from committing violent acts?

I'd like you to show me the death count for the other ideologies you have presented as equal in standing. This is the best part of every discussion, as I will present the bar graph of terror attacks based on ideology and watch as people try to say they are even relatively even/close. It might be enlightening, as the narrative that all ideologies do it equally is hilarity.

I've also never claimed anything should be eradicated. I just like to let people know what I think. I could go ahead and employ your strategy of asking a ridiculously blatant baity question along those same lines, but wont because that is again clutching at straws. I prefer working with what I know.

Do you have any idea how many people Stalin ALONE has killed in the name of Communism? Do you?

Given the current trend and assuming it stays the same, do you know how many YEARS it'd take for these terror attacks to merely equal the lowest death count under Stalin's regime, on his watch?

six hundred and sixty six years


All of us posting would be long dead FAR before it even comes remotely close to equalling the lowest end of that count. If you want to go all in and figure for his highest count at 60 million:

five thousand years


It pales in comparison and it's a joke to even think of comparing contemporary terror attacks to a brutal dictator like Stalin.

Lol.

When did I ever speak in support of communism which has killed over 100 m people? It's funny because the people who you are supporting when you try to forward the moderate Islam narrative are the same people who take selfies with a hammer and sickle and explain that places like Venezuela, China, and Cuba are just incorrect applications of the one true way of life.

Even then, your argument that because other things are bad that people aren't allowed to highlight the phenomenon is in question. I expect more from you in discussions and you're letting me down. I would've thought you'd go after foreign policy but you've resorted to talking points :S

You asked me to do, and I quote:

And I provided said example. Not only is it equal in standing (ideology vs ideology), it straight dwarfs the relevance (assuming there is any to begin with) of these terror attacks to the point where it looks like a non-issue. One person, who wasn't even religious, killing exponentially more people than what these 140 have combined, all in the name of a political ideology, and you want to take a position of moral superiority.

Are you suddenly backtracking because you now realize you dun made a goofy goof with your statements? "Revenge...is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion."- Jeremy Taylor

If you weren't so proud you would have realized you were just postured into an even darker revelation. I'm not sure if the amount of people murdered by radical communism is the same as the people murdered by radical islam in 2016.

I would imagine the numbers are similar actually. did you actually believe that I wasn't aware of the threat of communism as well? In communism's defense, it really is a n equal opportunity killer. Not only does it not kill based on ideology, it also cannibalizes. It's the equality wet dream

28000 per year due to terror attacks...compared to the minimum 8 million under Stalin's rule alone.

It would take 285 years if the trend stays the same for deaths due to terror attacks to equal Stalin's lowest estimated death count.

Trust, it's not even close for comparison and really just shows how little worth human life has in the grand scheme of things.
