    For one thing, leftists already hate Christians as a group overall, so let's not start with the false premise that you liberals accept Christians as liberally as you want us to accept Muslims.

    Secondly, an extremist in one religion is not the same as an extremist in another. An extremist Jain, for example, would be so concerned about nonviolence that he/she would be almost paralyzed. Extremism is only a problem if the core of the religion is not peaceful, which is the case with Islam.

    And, like always, tu quoque reasoning comes into play, and Christianity is dragged through the mud in order to make Islam look better. Few of those groups have any kind of religious grounds for their positions and are acting outside of the religion, and the ones that do (Westboro), have less than 100 members around the world. Compare that with the millions of Muslims out there today practicing the extreme version of their religion, which is not at all contrary to the central beliefs of Islam.

    I highly doubt anyone believes "all Muslims are terrorists", but nice strawman, just the same.

    Oh yeah? Did you just decide that leftists "hate Christians"? How convenient for you. I'm sure you have some evidence to back up your stereotyping claims.

    I think you are confusing "hating Christians" with wanting to keep Christian, or any religious, beliefs out of government institutions.

    Hypocrisy is thy name! You straight up admitted that 1.) you know nothing about the core of Islamic beliefs 2.) You don't use the same standards for everyone.

    Bravo, not everyone has big enough balls to admit their double standard.

    Perhaps you should look at the post you just made where you painted the core of Islam as extreme and violent.

    PLease repost, admit that you are incapable of objective research on your own, even when provided with AMPLE KET WORDS, and I'll gladly link you, in the most pointedly insulting way I can: Let-me-google-that-for-you.

    K?

    Wrong as always, as per your "special gift"....

    "One in four younger U.S. Muslims say suicide bombings to defend their religion are acceptable at least in some circumstances..."

    This is true. In all honesty, Mak, would you want to watch a TV show about Australian-Americans? That sounds just about as interesting as watching a show about American-Australians! :-D

    Right, let's forget all about the left's contempt for all things Christian for the sake of this argument. I'll simply point it out the next time you or one of your fellow leftists demonizes conservatives as a bunch of "clinging to their guns and religion" throwbacks.

    So, you have nothing to refute my previous post, in other words. Keep dancing.

    Another diversion. And jihad is at the core of Islam, by the way.

    First of all, what?

    You make a claim, you back it up.

    But it turns out you were (kinda) right.

    Not incredibly surprising as youth are more likely to hold extream idealistic views. Their parents need to let them know that (*)(*)(*)(*) isn't OK.

    Overall, in the total population of American Muslims, the view of suicide bombings is far less favorable.

    So you've got nothing?



    It's hard to refute what isn't true.

    I'm sure you've got credible evidence to back up your claims that the core of Islam is extreme and non-peaceful.

    You're right. Lets condemn the 93% because of the 7%.

    Here's where I can point to 109 Qur'an scriptures that justify and command violence against non-Muslims, to which you would reply with "ZOMG OUT OF CONTEXT PFFTT PFFTT ISLAM RELIGION OF PEACE!!1!!".

    That's the 7% willing to admit they support suicide bombing, and that's just one of many extreme topics in Islam.

    Since muslims are such a tight nit community, with 93% of the good turning in the 7% bad, America should really have 0%, how come that ain't happening?

    Your source say that only 13% of American Muslims say suicide bombing can be "rarely" justified.

    Now here is my question: what do you think is the percentage of right wings loons who approve Scott Reoder? How much do you want to bet it is higher than 13%?

    Are you really suggesting that all Muslims know each other?

    I wasn't aware you could arrest someone for agreeing with something, no matter how much you dislike it.

    No, but 99.9% of them practice their religion, and that's where the terror seems to begin.
