Atheism is also a religion

Dear Friends,

Dr Javed Jamil talks like a real moralist. From his list of wars in the last 150 years, let's just handpick a few to see if there is any truth in his claim that atheism (which is a religion, in case he didn't know!) is a bigger killer than his own religion that must to be defended, as he says, "with a counterattack."

His suggested clarion call is: Islam hatrey mein he!
 

I think he should revert back to the Internet to clip some more numbers, so that he can tell us how many atheists were around in the 1860-65 American civil war that killed 360,000; or during the 1886-1908 Belgium-Congo Free State that claimed more than 3 million lives; or the 1915 pogrom in which the Ottoman Empire (Ottoman refers to the Caliph Usman) slaughtered 1.2 million Armenians; or the First World War in which an estimated 8 million lives were lost (due to atheism?); or, nearer home, the 1947 madness called the Partition that claimed more than a million lives and caused the biggest upheaval of human transmigration in recorded history; or the number of atheists in the Arab-Israeli wars that have been an ongoing part of life in the Middle East for as long as one can remember; or the Kashmir civil war; or the 1961-2003 infighting between the downtrodden Kurds and so-called Iraqis; or the India-Pakistan wars and skirmishes over Kashmir which are still ongoing; or the 1971 civil war in Bangladesh during which Pakistani soldiers raped thousands of Bengali mothers and daughters.
 

Perhaps he can also tell us, again by cribbing from the Internet, how many atheists are there in Indonesia; or in the Philippines; in Ethiopia; and in Lebanon. The list could be extended to cover the globe, but let me not labour home the point too much.
