    No, I'm being honest and you're being dishonest. Did you watch the caliphate? Isis? Name a current (you like to live in the moment) that compares? This is exactly the reason that I tire of you because you don't tell the truth.

      You're not being honest, but against my better judgement I will respond anyway.

      In no way was I referring to the extremist side of religion. Even extremist Buddist were killing Muslims in Myanmar a couple years back. Don't you think the KKK is a Christian terror group?


      I was referring to the base religions.

        I usually already pretty much know my candidates well in advance. In the 2016 primaries I never supported Donald Trump. With the failure of The Arnold as California I wasn't sure if I could trust The Donald. My favorite was Ted Cruz and I still feel he would male a great Senate Majority Leader.

        I am not real active in local politics but I know most of the players. Our current District Attorney is the younger sister of a woman I whom I graduated high school and had been in the same class with since 3rd grade who is now a candidate for the Kern County High School Board.

        During the primaries my County Supervisor seat was up for election. There were 3 candidates, 2 Republicans and one Democrat. Of the 2 Republicans, one was the assistant to the existing supervisor whom I never did like and I did not want more of the same. The other was someone I didn't know and had no resources who did. The Democrat was someone I did know who had been with one of my customers that I had to work with on a regular basis so I voted for him.

          The extreme part of Islam is vast. It's no drop in the bucket that can be ignored. And this is a very odd stance for you to take considering your obsession with the extreme side of the republican party.

              Which part of that is untrue? All of it is true.

                Your problem is that you do not properly research most of what you type. Here are some actual facts. "The Buddha was clear that committing violence, even in thought, takes us off the path of practice he taught."
                Why are Buddhists in Myanmar killing Rohingya Muslims? -

                Also "Thet Swe Win, a longtime peace activist, convened a group of like-minded Buddhist friends and interfaith activists to brainstorm ways to show solidarity with the Muslim minority"
                Buddhists fight violence against Muslims in Myanmar with flower power - Los Angeles Times

                No they are an enforcement organization created by the Democrat Party after the Civil War to keep freed slaves in the South in line.

                  Billie, you have to understand the he is under as a Canadian citizen. Islam like homosexuality are Canadian sacred cows. Canadian journalists have been fined and put in jail for criticizing either one of them.

                        That sounds an awful lot like big government as well. The largest mass murders of the 20th century were committed by such groups, not by religious groups.

                          I read the articles. Are you saying that the portions I quoted are not there or are not the truth. We know that you hate the truth. I posted the articles post they presented the full picture but your hatred won't allow you to see that.

                            You mean things like the Wounded Knee Massacre, the My Lai 4 Massacre and the Tianamen Square Massacre.

                              Who's killed more, governments or churches? The number is high on both but yet you seem to excuse the other.

                                Over the centuries, I would say governments that follow Sharia.
