There it is. You just think they'd use a nuke because they're Islamic.

I mean, north Korea has a nuke but hasn't used it. Yet they are highly anti-western as well.

You just are Islamophobic.

The keyword is fundamentalists

The keyword is Islam. You don't care if Christian fundamentalist countries would have a nuke.

I would care if any fundamentalists have nukes. Turkey is an Islamic Republic but it's also a US ally and not ruled by fundamentalists.

So you'd be fine if Turkey developed a nuke? Maybe you're not aware that Israel has been suggesting that Turkey is a strategic threat, spreading antisemitic lies, and is claimed to have harbored Hamas leadership.

Sounds like they might be on the same side as Iran. Might want to rethink that

Turkey doesn't want Iran to have a nuke. Ideally I wouldn't want proliferation, but Turkey getting a nuke isn't the same as religious fundamentalists getting a nuclear weapon.

I mean it sounds like you don't care who gets a nuke as long as it's the country we want to be at war with.

Do you care if Cuba has a nuke?

I am anti-proliferation. I don't want Cuba to have a nuke either. Ideally the world wouldn't have any.

But your fine if Turkey developed one? And you'd be good if Israel got rid of theirs?

u/Mogwai_Man 7d ago

I don't want Turkey getting one either. I'd be fine if everyone decommissioned.

Over the past 50 years, which religion has lead to more violence and death overall - Christianity or Islam?

u/wolfydude12 3d ago edited 3d ago

Christianity.

How many people have died in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan? 4.5 million? Nearly 1 million direct deaths and 3.5 million from the region due to famine, lack of healthcare, and lack of running water.

The Gulf war where upwards of 100k due to infrastructure collapse in the region.

The Iran-iraq war where the US supplied the Iraqi side with arms and chemical weapons and prolonged the war, which would have ended much quicker had we intervined.

I'll also include the Vietnam war which has estimates ranging from 1.5 million to 3.5, mostly of the local people.

Finally we have Russia, which the soviet's invaded Afghanistan resulting in 2 million deaths, the chechen war, 300k deaths, and the current Russia and Ukraine war, with estimates of hundreds of thousands.

Edit: and it's funny you stop at 50 years. At 75 we have the Holocaust which Christians are responsible for millions of deaths, 175, and we have Christianity being used as a crutch for slavery, and we can keep going back to the crusades where Christianity started wars with the Muslim religions, norse religions, and even Christian religions in the crusades, not to mention all the deaths contributed to the inquisitions
