Why cant I just live my life and not have to defend myself EVERYWHERE I GO. You have to understand every religion has its radicals, in Christianity those radical beliefs that carried on for thousands of years, there have been horrible crimes and injustices carried out in the name of Christianity. Try being empathetic, imagine life for an averagae muslim, you are a 3rd world country, you barely have enough money or food to live, you dont participate in any terrorist activity, then you have the biggest country in the world threatening war if you dont aid them in invading your neighbouring country. countries like amsterdam have anti-muslim political parties in leadership, comic strips ridicule and mock youre religion, people hate you and want your entire religion oblilberated, you fear the terrorist freaks that rule your country and all you want is to do is live and be left alone.

Good call...yep Christianity and Islam have been involved in horrific battles...often against each other and sometimes against their own people.
The
average Muslim/Christian is in fact from a 3rd world or poor country...those needing any kind of miracle to believe in...to help them out of their morasse. Educated countries are in fact turning away from theism at a great pace.
The fact you are tired of hatred has everything to do with choice...choice of a religion that eschews hatred and crys bigotry at every turn...yet veils its women in cloth and humiliates them at every turn.
I personally wouldnt waste one minute of my time supporting an organization that doesnt believe in equality.
