In Our Modern World Fundamentalist Christianity is More Dangerous Than Fundamentalist Islam

PRO"s opening statement for round 3 "I agree with my opponent that Islamic Terrorism is more of a problem than Christian terrorism." PRO should therefore drop this entire part of his argument because the motion he is arguing for is "In our modern world Fundamentalist Christianity is more dangerous than Fundamentalist Islam". If PRO openly admits this is not the case when it comes to terrorism then any terror related argument from PRO should be dismissed. I also make another suggestion to my opponent. Instead of blaming America for ISIS, why not blame ISIS for ISIS. Even if you believe America created the conditions for ISIS to develop, you could also choose to blame Bashar al-Assad, I have to remind my opponent again that the debate he is arguing for is "In our modern world Fundamentalist Christianity is more dangerous than Fundamentalist Islam". America"s actions, weather you agree with them or not, were not motivated by Christianity. The actions of ISIS are motivated by Islam. Actions such as the murder of men, women and children in the most horrific fashion. Actions such as rape, such as mutilating body parts, forced conversion [1]. I would also like to point out that ISIS is not the only show in town. Hamas, Al-Qaida, Al Shabaab, Boko Haram all commit acts of terror in huge numbers. Are you going to blame America for those too? How about home grown terrorism? Increasingly, Muslims born in western countries are attacking those countries in the name of Islam. We"ve seen it in mainland Europe, the UK [2], USA [3] and there was even a terrorist attack today in Canada [4] I need to draw attention to the fact my opponent misquoted me in his argument for round 3. At no point in this debate did I say Democracy can never make the wrong choice so why PRO is putting quotation marks around this statement I don"t know. I did not say anything like that and did not state words to the effect of that. Democracy can get it wrong. The Muslim Brotherhood for example, who was elected to power in Egypt in 2012, who"s slogan is "God is our objective; the Qur'an is the Constitution; the Prophet is our leader; jihad is our way; death for the sake of God is our wish." As of December 2013 the Egyptian interim government declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation. There are Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan, who in 2002 won 52 seats in Pakistani parliament when they teamed up with another religious political party called, Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal. JI want to make Pakistan an Islamic state and have it governed by Sharia law, it also has links to terror (Pakistan is a nuclear power). There is the Taliban who actually did govern Afghanistan by Sharia law which repressed an entire population, especially women, and has well known links to terror. I can continue with more but I think you get the point [5]. What I was trying to say was that Americans peacefully going to the polls to vote is not the same thing as actively terrorizing either individuals or populations. It's not in the same league, it's not even the same sport! [1] http://shaunynews.com... [2] http://www.dw.de... [3] http://www.nytimes.com... [4] http://news.sky.com... [5] http://en.wikipedia.org...
