And my only point is that excusing Islam for being hostile to Science because it's "younger" than Christianity is a demonstrably poor argument.
All the rest of this discussion about "billions or trillions of nonviolent Muslims" is pretty useless. When a religion and culture seems to produce suicide bomber after suicide bomber and assholes who take over planes to kill thousands of innocent people - at some point the rest of the world has to ask "WTF?"
Should all Americans be judged by the fact that a small number of Americans lied us into invading another country about a decade ago?
What are you talking about? Everyone thought Saddam had an arsenal of dangerous weapons because HE pushed that belief because he was scared of Iran. Numerous non-American intelligence sources supported the belief that Saddam had WMDs. I didn't actually support going into Iraq due to the cost, but military reasons to do so were there. Saddam could have ended the whole thing any time by letting the inspections happen.
Sure, there was a lie. Saddam's. There was also incorrect intelligence. However to still call it a lie by the American government is itself an untruth.
