And there is (or was) more than 30k ISIS fighters who are just the tip of the iceberg of muslim fundamentalism.

Noah's son Ham saw Noah naked, therefore his descendants (eg africans) are cursed and serve the descendents of his brother Shem.

The bible is filled with 'justified' genocides. A Christian calling Muslims violent is not only false it is arrogant and morally repulsive.

Um, all those genocides happened thousands of years ago. Christianity has evolved and it at least somewhat modern. Islam has not changed.

It sure appears that way when you get to exclude all of your violent hate groups but make sure your scape goat doesn't get to.

In the example you cite it says the belief started during the US slave trade, there is no biblical support for it being a racial mark.
