Would rolling terrorist attacks be the terrorists curling up into a ball and rolling themselves at people, or them rolling past in pimped out rides, baller style?

Your knowledge of world history only extends to about the 90's. Just because christianity isn't enacting their version of sharia law in this current decade doesn't nullify the past 2000 years. Look at fanatics in every sect of the abrahamic religions and they are all abhorrent so it's laughable when christians see these news articles and attempt to wag their finger at them from some supposed moral high ground. Have you read the loving bible ever?

Dude shoots up an abortion clinic but god forbid anyone calls that Christian terrorism, that's not the narrative we are selling.

Sorry to burst your bubble but again, Jesus was a Zealot which was a terrorist organization fighting Roman rule and Christianity was all about fighting the Romans off until Constantine converted and convened councils to put an 'official' Bible out and that's why the Romans were so worried about stamping it out and that's why it spread like wildfire in the empire.

The US is quickly becoming a country where the news only cares about people killed in the name of islam and ignores the daily death toll by christians against homosexuals in christian bastions like central and south america and africa because, you know, Leviticus, the loving word of the lord.

but lets not forget posted:

Christian majority nations are making progress but let's not forget that sodomy laws are still on the books in most jurisdictions including the uniform code of military justice. So, technically, same sex intercourse is still illegal in almost all of the US.

Maybe islam is just going through the same growing pains that christianity went through since it's christianity's little brother 600 years younger. Remember when christianity was islam's current age? Yeah, it was as bad if not worse by far. Makes u think.

But, seriously, they're all so bad with their ridiculous mythology that it's laughable.
