Wow, what a great post.
ReplyDeleteI have found that really the two top facts are the most potent and surprising to people. Almost shocking. Most people have no idea how many attacks are perpetrated every day in the name of Islam.
ReplyDeleteI answer their shock by telling them to go visit thereligionofpeace.com to see what is happening every day around the world in the name of Islam.
For the Ku Klux Klan fact, you can add a little punch by adding: There are 18,250 days in fifty years. In other words, Islam kills 18,250 times more people than the Ku Klux Klan.
But most of the time, the one I use is the top left, because when I criticize Islam, usually people say, "Yeah, but Christianity has a lot of violence in its name, too. What about the Inquisition?"
Islam kills more people every year than the total killed by the Inquisition in its entire 350 year reign.
