Catholic: the leaders of the Spanish Inquisition, Mary Queen of Scotts
Christian: KKK, Hitler
I could list a bunch of others, but that is useless. Like I was saying, EVERY religion, every group, every country has extremists,just as they all have some good (minus the KKK, I haven't explored their philosophies, but I don't see how there can be good there).
I'm not just defending Muslims, I try to see both sides of EVERY coin. PETA has some crazies that throw blood on people, but they also have members that are quiet vegetarians (I myself am a member of the very different PETA: People for the Eating of Tasty Animals, I love me a good steak).
I jumped into this thread because of the ignorant calling out for a boycott, not just because I saw the word "Muslim."
I am only against people who hunt for sport, I think ruthlessly killing anything (innocent people, innocent animals) for fun, for pride, whatever reason other than necessity, is ridiculous. However, I would like to learn to hunt for survival reasons. If I were stranded I would want to know what to do to survive.
two sides to every coin. and yeah, anger gets in the way sometimes. It happens to everyone (happens to me a lot), but I have really made an effort in my life to be open-minded, and well-educated, and I'm passionate about it.
and also, ignorance scares me because I've seen Idiocracy and it hits a little too close to home for comfort, so whenever I see a thread like this, I think that we're inching closer and closer to that society....
