Juliet, Tennessee, recently announced to his more than 1 million Facebook followers that people have been sending donations to Planned Parenthood in his name and he isn’t very happy about it. Good. People are turning his hatred into a Good Thing. > [@Pastor Greg Locke](#): > > There has never been an organization in the world that has killed more innocent people, other than radical Islam… Hm. Sounds like he doesn’t like Muslims much either. (I know he said ‘radical’, but IME people like him don’t like any of them.) Maybe someone should donate to [Islamic Relief USA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Relief_USA). (Note: I am not suggesting that Dopers donate to either or any charity in order to get the good Pastor’s goat.) ---

I’m pretty sure that even if you count radical Islam as “an organization”, the United States has killed more innocents than Radical Islam has. Do the names “Dresden”, “Tokyo”, “Hiroshima”, or “Nagasaki” ring a bell? ---

The only way I’d be ticked if someone made a donation in my name to any organization would be if they also provided my contact information and I was barraged by future requests. Beyond that, I don’t care. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > (Note: I am not suggesting that Dopers donate to either or any charity in order to get the good Pastor’s goat.) My gf started a donation drive at work to help PP a few weeks ago. Her employer has promised to match whatever amount is collected. I have suggested (and it’s being considered) they recognize the good pastor via their donation.🙂 ---

I think if the good pastor’s words are what motivated me to send a few bucks to Planned Parenthood, then I should definitely let him know that he had such an effect. Donation made in his honor a few days ago. ---

Nope, they’re mere pikers. Mao is probably responsible for 40M deaths, and Stalin 20M. The Go-To Name for Evil Inc is just a mere third in death and suffering. Absolute numbers are, of course, had to verify. Most estimates I have read do put the Big Three in this order, though. ---

> [@Quartz](#): > > That might be one for GQ or GD as Islamists have killed an awfully large number of innocents over the past 1500 years. Oh my. I’m afraid “your side” would lose that GD or GQ thread though. On 14 July, 1099 [QUOTE=Fulcher of Chartres] “In this temple [Dome of the Rock] 10,000 [Muslims] were killed. Indeed, if you had been there you would have seen our feet coloured to our ankles with the blood of the slain. But what more shall I relate? None of them were left alive; neither women nor children were spared.” [/QUOTE] On 20 August 1191 at the Siege of Acre, Richard the Lion Heart carried out killings in full view of the Muslim army and Saladin’s own field headquarters. Around 3000 soldiers alongside each and every women and child present in the walls were executed. Et cetera. ---
