Bigots

Yesterday a friend of mine asked me for help with writing a speech about misconceptions of the religion of Islam. Admittedly I know only a bare minimum of it myself, but I told him to mention September 11th at the beginning as an attention getter, because I knew that there were a lot of misconceptions floating around after that fateful day. He needed some hard facts backing this up, so I jumped on the web and found this site.

I was horrified when I saw the above image. There are similar images at the page I linked, as well as many comments supporting these ideals. I wonder if there are any images of the Wako massacre like this, criticizing Christianity. If you want to criticize religion in general, then thats fine. I am a religious person myself and I accept, sometimes applaud, criticism. But when people begin believing that this image represents the true tenants of a religion and become bigots about it, that is unacceptable. There are an awful lot of religious bigots in this country, which is strange seeing as how this country was supposedly built on the idea of religious tolerance.
