[QUOTE=draugur;48360253]Yeah? And the Christians butchered Muslims from the Reconquista all the way up to the 1400's mostly because they weren't Christians. You know who the leader was who demonstrated an act of humility by letting the losing side be able to send merchants and pilgrims? Sultan Saladin. And yet the Christians still launched the 4th Crusade years later (which didn't make it to to the "holy land" but that's another long history lesson). The Muslims also spared all women, children and anyone who wanted to flee during the People's crusade. The Christian armies slaughtered people without any real thought to it. Shit even Jews [I]in Western Europe[/I] were attacked and slaughtered on multiple accounts by crusader armies who were heading out to join the Crusade.
We can cherry pick history [I]all[/I] night long and I can assure you I can find many more violent acts coming from Christians than you can Muslims. It's not the religion that's the problem it's us damn pesky Humans and our primitive xenophobic tendencies that probably stem from years of evolution as stone age ass bitches when anything that wasn't us was probably an actual danger and would probably kill us if it had a decent chance to. Being able to solve problems diplomatically is pretty new to us considering the fact that for a large part of history the main method of solving conflict was to simply kill and/or enslave anyone that opposed you.[/QUOTE]

What about Muslims and their jihads (Islamic Crusades) butchering Christians, jews and anyone else who were not muslims. Your very biased. When it comes down to facts, Islam wrought far greater destruction than Christians. Sultan Saladin was a unique example but did that for strategical purposes, but i won't go into that.
For another perspective, look at Islam's effect on India as another point of view.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;48362324]If your religion is being criticized, why not take it and improve it?[/QUOTE]
Considering what a religion really is, you can't really "improve" it to avoid criticism. The funny thing is that faithful people don't really care about their beliefs themselves, they just seek a hideout from something. So, you can change the basic priciples or make a religion more or less violent, but this doesn't mean much, as there will always be people who think your religion is wrong, because otherwise they would need to accept that their personal hideout is an illusion.
