Leave it to you to respond favorably to some cynical, idiotic statement from der Trumpenfuhrer.

On that basis, is it reasonable to suspect all Christians of being deadly potential perpetrators of gay massacre?
Are these Christians universal like the Islamists? The Islamists are everywhere.

In every corner of the globe people dread Islamists.

There is no Christian equivalency as such.

Something fairly recent could be considered Christian terrorism against the Bosniak population in Srebrenica https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srebrenica

Not a fair statement nor a comparison.

There have been innumerable acts of terror attributed to Islam, none that I know of attributed to Christianity. Let me ask a question, the slaughter of Shia's by the ISIS, is that terrorism or internecine warfare?

There has never been one act of violence committed by Islam, or by Christianity.

There have been plenty committed by Islamic persons, and Christian persons.

Don't be pissed--the distinction is vital.

Your last question seems to me to verge on MacCarthyesque. Like, if I answer wrong, do I get blacklisted?

Yeah, everywhere. Under every bed.

Don't dread them. You odds of being directly involved in an incident remain vanishingly small.
