I also wonder if any religious video of any faith that calls for beating one's wife,inequality between men and women, death for non believers and homosexuals, antisemitism or female genital mutilation will also be counted as extremist video.

  I hope all videos advocating violence are included.

  Yes, any religious video as such should absolutely be counted. Feel free to start flagging them with your brave throwaway account: https://www.youtube.com/results https://www.youtube.com/results? search_query=CHRISTIAN+PASTOR+death+homosexuality

  Even if the video calls for none of those, you mean? Of course, like you, I would quite like to see all Christian videos banned, but I'm afraid it might set a precedent.

    Really, because we must censor ideas like "love your enemies" and "treat others the way you want to be treated"? (Matthew 5:44) (https://youtu.be/L0HhHLHLHaA https://youtu.be/L0HhHLHLHaA) I agree that abusers will use any name for their own means, but generalization of a group because of false persons who claim that group is never helpful. Of course there are the false teachers who use Christianity for their own power (i.e. televangelist types), but there are also people who actually believe the great teachings like forgiveness and love one another. They are the ones who will pick you up when someone else has beaten you into the mud.

        A la "christian terrorists aren't real terrorists".

      Yes, because none of Islam preaches love and none of Christianity preaches death to homosexuals.

        i don't see many christians blowing up kids 'for jesus', or decaptitating children 'for jesus' or throwing people off buildings, or raping or pillaging... the radicalization of young christians into violent murder machines is a massive problem. certtainly we must pursue this blatant false equivalency at all costs. because all religion is obviously the same in every way.

        > i don't see many christians blowing up kids 'for jesus', or decaptitating children 'for jesus' or throwing people off buildings, or raping or pillaging... Most Muslims don't do any of those things, either. Meanwhile, some Christians do blow up abortion clinics, shoot up gay nightclubs, mosques and Sikh temples, and put Bible verses on their gunsights when shooting Muslims in the desert. And then you have Christian groups like the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda who do decapitate children, rape and pillage "for Jesus," and practice many of the same violent tactics as any Muslim extremist group. >certtainly we must pursue this blatant false equivalency at all costs. because all religion is obviously the same in every way. You are right about there being a false equivalency, but it's not where you seem to think it is.

  There's a big difference between "inequality between sexes" and "death for homosexuals".

Of course not, because when white people engage in terrorism, they are "deeply disturbed individuals with unmet psychiatric needs" and the public/media sympathize with them.
