What a load of garbage. Having a shirt saying "Islam is of the Devil" is somehow worse than whole Christian villages wiped out in Pakistan? It's worse than forcing Christians to live on reservations and not to be able to publicly display their religion in Saudi Arabia? It's somehow worse than Christians being executed for bogus crimes by the government of Indonesia just because of their faith? And yet this bullshit is in the news while no one cares about any of the Islamic persecution of Christians. Please.
Let me ask this: If a Muslim wore a shirt that said "Christianity is of the Devil" in even a "progressive" (and I use that word with extreme hesitation) Muslim country like Turkey, would he have been sent out of school? No way, Jose. So why should we be held to a higher standard?
So is it okay for me to do anything that is wrong and hurtful so long as somebody, somewhere else is doing something worse? Are my sins justified as long as I am not doing the worst thing? Your god is okay with that? Basically, in his book, anything I do is okay because someone else is a worse sinner? That is how this is coming off. Is that how you wanted it to come off?

For one, I don't think wearing a shirt that says "Islam is of the Devil" is wrong or hurtful. From my perspective, it's correct and informative. If Muslims are offended, they should probably lobby their governments to actually step in and stop the killing of Christians, because then I would ahve no reason to wear the shirt.
