    When you think about it this thread is a fail. If there is a radical muslim that kills people, who the hell does anyone think they will talk about, an African pigmy tribe medicine man?????

    A man that shoots up a gay bar in Orlando is a Muslim, but let's not talk about his Muslim faith. (If he claimed to be a Christian, you have no trouble talking about his faith.) He has pledged allegiance to ISIS, but let's not talk about. (If he belonged to a specific church, topic would not be off limits.) ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, but let's not talk about that. Islamic belief is that one should kill Homosexuals, but let's not talk about that. (If this had been a Christian Baker that refused to bake a cake for a Homosexual wedding, you would be all over the subject of religion) Did you speak out about the banning of the Confederate Flag when a shooter of a black church was pictured with one? No? So, what do you want to talk about?

    Oh, that's right guns. There isn't time to track whether the gun was acquired legally or not. Nor, can you prove that the shooter would not have gotten a gun from an illegal source if a legal source was not available. You know like the San Bernardino shooters did. But that is what you want to talk about. And why not. That is the only way that you can blame this shooting of Conservatives. One liberal special interest group (Muslins) attacks another liberal special interest group (Homosexuals), and you need a way to point to conservatives and declare "it's their fault". There is no way that you will blame a Muslim for an attack on Gays. How very liberal of you!!!

    When and where did he travel to the Middle East? I can't find a single word on that.

    Did Jews preach "kill the infidels"? Did Jews kill Germans? Did Jews kill gays and enslave women? No, they didn't so stop the nonsense.

    Members of ALL special interest groups (liberal or conservative) edit news selectively to use as propaganda to support their own political agendas, but how can you justify calling Muslims a "LIBERAL'' special interest group? Are you talking values or limiting the definition IN THIS CASE ONLY to relate to fiscal policy?

    Religion or not this is a result of obama's policy toward terrorism. That is where the blame lies.

    Should all Muslims be punished for the crimes of the Jihadist terrorists? Discrimination due to generalizations is unfair. Regardless of what Jews did to Germans, Hitler used them the same way that Trump is using Muslims and Mexicans, so YOU stop the nonsense.

    I have a solution for the OP's dilemma.

    1. Have all muslims stop any acts of terror.. no bombing marathons.. no shooting up xmas parties.. no shooting up military centers.. no shooting up gay bars.
    2. Then, the 'muslims are peaceful & loving' meme could have some credibility.
    3. Stop apologizing for islamists, & let their actions speak for themselves.
    4. Oh, & have all muslims around the world stop any acts of terror, rape, & murder of anyone who is not a muslim.
    5. Then, you won't have to listen to any criticisms of muslim terror acts. How many buddhist terror acts are you tired of hearing about? Amish?.. with their intolerant zeal for quilts & rocking chairs?
    6. If you wanted, you could ban assault weapons for muslims.. since they are more likely to use them in a mass shooting, statistically. How about a ban on muslims purchasing firearms? You could pretend you still love them, AND express your disgust for firearms at the same time! It's for their own good, anyway.. it is most likely the evil weapons that caused the shootings..
    7. Or, you could embrace reality, & realize there is a problem with radical islam in the world, & it is pretty much universal on the planet.
    8. Then, you would not feel threatened when reality shatters the PC dream world & phony narrative that only bible believing christians pose a danger to humanity.
    9. And don't forget your disgust with christian bakers who don't want to cater a gay wedding.. Now THAT is something to be outraged over.. a lot more than shooting 50 people in a gay bar.

    :roll:

    You forgot to say "IMO". I think that this thread makes perfect sense. If one Muslim kills people, it does not LOGICALLY follow that all Muslims kill people.

    And so the idiots again come pouring out of the woodwork, all with a one-sided opinion based on as little logic and fact as possible.

    It's no wonder most people can't reach a rational conclusion, they let others tell how to think. Then, they in turn pass along the trash they let others stuff in their heads.

    We are perhaps more intelligent than any species on earth, and so stupid that we are the least of them.

    No one is excusing Muslims who commit acts of terror, but is it Christian to blame ALL Muslims for the sins of a few? That is like banning ALL firearms because one person gets shot.

    Well, since all right wing republicans are racists, & all whites live under white privilege, & all christians are to blame for homophobia & slavery, why not come to a compromise?

    Let muslim terrorists shoot christian bakers.. that's a win/win for all. The muslim terrorists get to kill someone, the aggrieved gays feel better that someone has paid for their homophobia, & the progressive left is rid of some christians.. so their narrative of peaceful, loving atheists can get better traction.. less competition, you know.

    BTW, has anyone blamed 'all muslims' for this? or is that some kind of false dichotomy again?
    :hmm:

    Then surely you can name the mental illness. The DSM is quite accessible, so provide it.

    If you are not blaming "all Muslims", what percentage of them do you expect are at fault, or are you not pre-judging anyone? Are you not in the least bit prejudiced?

    I don't need a DSM. Stable people don't go on killing sprees.

    This is actually easy to answer, take the average percentage of Muslims who sympathize/agree with terrorist motives. This would yield 30-35%. Everyone has prejudices, saying otherwise is a lie.
