[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christianity is the dominant religion in this country. Even given that, there are many aspects to Christianity (particularly certain strains of Christianity) that are objectionable to many people. Christian activist organizations spend a lot of time and money attempting to influence politics, and even many Christians would prefer to have secular laws.

Not saying that's the only reason, but it's certainly one reason. [b]I personally criticize religious anti-choice groups' attempt to impose their religious beliefs on other people, and overwhelmingly, those are Christian groups,[/b] [b]not[/b] Buddhist or[b] Muslim[/b] or Pastafarian ones.[/quote]

You do realize that Muslims are very anti-choice with regard to abortion right?  Some sharia courts will allow it under circumstances that they deem appropriate, but it's not the woman's choice.

They are also extremely anti-gay and view gays with disgust.  This is all according to their scriptures.

As far as being against groups that attempt to impose their religious beliefs on others, Islam is right up there with Christianity. Politics and affecting politics is very much intertwined in religious gatherings at mosques and religious conventions, just as it is at churches. They take it a step farther though when they start wanting to be able to have their own sharia courts.[/quote]

Original PP here. I understand that. However, I do not see a ton of lobbying done by Muslim groups in this country on those issues. The only extremely pervasive lobbying I've seen related to Islam have been campaigns about how not all Muslims are terrorists.

There are a lot of overtly Christian groups who lobby against abortion and gay marriage, among other things. My point was not "Christians are worse than Muslims". It was "Christian lobbying groups are more numerous and more high profile than Muslim lobbying groups." But I think it's certainly ironic that in a thread criticizing the "bashing" of Christianity, you use the opportunity to criticize another religion.[/quote]
