sooo... Christianity is actually to blame for radical Islam? oh, boy, thats rich
Well you took what I said and stretched it, but yea in a way. Islam copied Christianity and added to it, just like the Christians did to several other mythologies.
Religion poisons everything, Islam is just a different flavor. Go back to Christianity when it was as young as Islam is now and you'll see just as much violence, likely more.
I'm glad its shrinking by an average rate of 8% per year worldwide. Good fucking riddance.
Okay bro!. You must be real smart then ^^

As young as Islam is? Do you think it just became a religion in the 70's or somthing? Islam has been around for almost 1500 years
Yup. And don't even try to tell a story or joke to a military man either, because they've always got a one-upper in their back pocket ready and waiting. They are the most interesting, smartest, bravest, most noble ulti-men on the planet.
Funny how they were all the same people taking study-hall and PE in High-School so they could pad their abysmal GPA's enough to sit the bench on the football team.

This is a harsh generalization aimed at a particular blockhead majority of military personnel. Out of 6 friends and acquaintances I've known who served, one was among the smartest individuals I or anybody else could ever know, who chose his career in the military for genuine reasons beyond a lack of better options (seeing how he had a full ride to MIT, which he accepted after serving).
Wow, it took me all of two posts for you to degenerate into the whiney, know nothing smart ass you clearly are
Sooo... Everybody in the military is an idiot, based on the 6 dudes you were kind of friends with

Sheep for their government?

generalizations are never going to be 100% accurate. that's why they're called generalizations. not all libs are head-in-the-clouds do-gooders, not all evangelicals right wingers are hater mongers in disguise, and not all irish uncles are drunks.
and not everyone who joined the military between the ages of 18-21 is a blockhead who had no better options in life (as the other poster insinuated)
but a shitload of irish uncles are drunks. and a shitload of 19yo infantry are blockheads.
here's my story. i thought about joining up around the age of 27. i went to the testing station, got my medical, had my eyes checked, etc, etc, and took the intelligence test. i was worried about the flying section that had spacial questions; i thought i'd bombed it and ruined my chances to fly (and it turns out they didn't even grade that one). they only graded math & verbal, and i aced the math & verbal. of course i did; i would have aced it in 8th grade. it was ludicrously easy. dude came out with a look of dismay and told me "you aced it", and when i shrugged he told me it was very rare.
let me tell you, when i looked around at the 400 or so people between the ages of 18-25 who were joining....i believed it was rare to ace a test i would have aced when i was 13 years old. god bless em for wanting to a) serve their country, b) better their lives the only way they knew how, or c) some combination thereof. but i swear, there wasn't a C+ student in the bunch.
and everyone i know who served in infantry (about 20 friends & family members) confirmed all my suspicions. officers had a different view, of course.
sorry if i come off as a snobby dick. i mean, i'm not sorry, but it is unfortunate.
