For more than a thousand years, the religion of Islam has brought humanity nothing but murder, barbarism, slavery, and oppression.
That's a thousand less years than christianity has been doing the exact same thing. Just because it suits your purpose to gloss over, whitewash, or just outright dismiss the many, many thousands of attrocities commited in the name of your religion does not mean that they didn't happen. The metaphorical hands of christianity are just as red with blood as those of islam, moreso even due to your religions 1000 years head start.
It has looted great treasuries of the Byzantine Empire,
Bullshit. There was precious little for them to loot after the Byzantine Empire had been sacked and emptied by it's fellow christians in the latter crusades.
burnt libraries
So did christianity, and far more often I might add. It was the islamic culture that perserved and refined the classical knowledge of the Greeks and Romans while Europe and it many kingdoms wallowed in the self imposed and willful ignorance that are now known as the Dark Ages.
defaced churcher
And what of the jewish temples, muslim mosques, and pagan shrines that have been toppled, razed, and burned to the ground in the name of christ? What on the numerous christian churches that have been defiled in the name of your "god" simply because bloodthirsty bigots like yourself didn't like that denomination and didn't think they were "true christians", or the churces that have been burned for over a hundred years just because the congregations of those churches had the nerve to be black and think they could worship your lily white jewish zombie. Does your religion not say that "He who without sin cast the first stone"? What makes you think that you have any sort of moral high ground here? Your religion is guilty of every single atrocity you wish to lay at the feet of your percieved "enemy".
enslaved millions in Europe and Africa
Uh-huh, and are going to try to tell me that there were not just as many christians involved in the slave trade too? Rule #1 of Lying For Jesus(TM) is... Make it at least halfway believible. You failed, now go eat your veggies and take your vitamins and one day you might have a real argument, or god fordid, your own opinion.
And now, the religion of Islam is responsible for the anti-semitic and anti-Western terror that plagues the world
So all the anti-jewish pogroms of the early 20th century and the near genocide of the holocaust were in fact caused by muslims and not the christians who championed and perpetrated them? As for anti-western sentiment in islam... Wouldn't you bear a grudge towards those who colonized and oppressed you lands? It's not that they don't like the west, it's that the western world has brought them nothing but centuries of misery.
Clearly, the destruction of this barbarous heresy will benefit the people of the whole world
No it cannot. If for no other reason than that the those you wish to see destroyed will recieve no benefit whatsoever.
As such, we humbly petition the President and Congress of the United States of America, as well as leaders of all freedom-loving countries to do
Theres nothing humble or selfless about your bigotry. Just your blind and misplaced fear of that which different.
to do anything and everything possible to ensure the destruction of the heart of the Muslim religion: the so-called "Holy" city of Mecca.
Christianity is what it is today not because of it's principles, but in spite of them. Christianity has been dragged kicking and screaming into modernity, fighting progress and enlightenment at every step. And yet here you stand, champing at the bit to to wage a holy genocide against another religion for crimes that your own religion has so freely commited. Your hypocrisy truly knows no bounds.
