Finally, where's the Muslim Red Cross? Where's the Buddhist AIDS Support groups? Where's the Hindu version of the Salvation Army or the Good Samaritans?

You know, I admit to being ignorant about the Buddhist and Hindu groups, though I'd be shocked if they didn't exist (especially given how Buddha was all about social justice anyway). But to not know about the Red Crescent is just wrong.
hahaha there are loads of buddhist, muslim, and hindu charities. they're just centered in other countries, so you don't know of their existence. but let me assure you, there are plenty. christians do not have a monopoly on goodness or charity.

Ever hear of the Red Crescent? And not only that, they work closely with the Red Cross:

Finally, where's the Drug Rehabilitation Clinics set up by Rush Limbaugh? The HIV/AIDS Support Groups run by Fred Phelps and Pat Robertson? Or the TeamXbox Forums version of the Salvation Army or the Samaritans, paid for & personally run by SpaceGhost2K?
I love the smell of destroyed arguments in the morning. Smells like... victory.
The Islamic Red Crescent serves the exact same function as the Red Cross (which is actually not a religious organization art all.)
The Sangha Metta is a Buddhist AIDS/HIV prevention/care group.
The Salvation Army is a religion, not a charity, and Samaritans, good or bad, are an acual ethnicity that no longer exists.
The Red Crescent is basically the same as the Red Cross.
The Red Cross is not a religious group, the sign is the inverted Swiss flagg.
Henri Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross was from Swizerland, see.
He stood at the battleground at Solferino and was appalled that people only took care of their own wounded, and left the unrecognized to die.
In other words; Red Cross/Red Crescent/Red Crystal is for everyone, everywhere.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
