Why is it that some people think all Muslims are like ISIS but don't think all Christians are like the Lord's Resistance Army?

Not everyone thinks that all Muslims are part of ISIS. I know several people that follow Islam that live in both Irag/Iran and in the USA that are some of the nicest people.

I agree with Corey as I know several Muslims that live in Pakistan and the U.S. Some of the nicest people I know. They've just been stereotyped as such. As far as the lord's resistance army, I've never even heard of it and don't really care about it.

There seem to be a lot of bigots in CBC's comments sections. It's disheartening.

My guess would be because the LRA isnt in the media anywhere near as much as IS. In fact, I'd never heard of them until I saw this questiin.

No sane person thinks all muslims are like ISIS, but too many are too given over to extreme views and too many do use violence in it's many forms.

Study carefully so you do not make the fallacy of the false comparison again.

Most christians are under a strong secular rule, so TLRA is a exception here.
