    Steven, there are about 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. Very few of them are anything like the picture you are painting of them.

    Martin,
    1. IF WE COULD JUST FIGURE OUT WHO’S CAUSING THE PROBLEM —
    Let’s see, do I understand this thing correctly?
    The Paris Killers were Muslim
    The Shoe Bomber was a Muslim
    The Beltway Snipers were Muslims
    The Fort Hood Shooter was a Muslim
    The underwear Bomber was a Muslim
    The U.S.S. Cole Bombers were Muslims
    The Madrid Train Bombers were Muslims
    The Bafi Nightclub Bombers were Muslims
    The London Subway Bombers were Muslims
    The Moscow Theater Attackers were Muslims
    The Boston Marathon Bombers were Muslims
    The Pan-Am flight #93 Bombers were Muslims
    The Air France Entebbe Hijackers were Muslims
    The Iranian Embassy Takeover, was by Muslims
    The Beirut U.S. Embassy bombers were Muslims
    The Libyan U.S. Embassy Attack was by Muslims
    The Buenos Aires Suicide Bombers were Muslims
    The Israeli Olympic Team Attackers were Muslims
    The Kenyan U.S, Embassy Bombers were Muslims
    The Saudi, Khobar Towers Bombers were Muslims
    The Beirut Marine Barracks bombers were Muslims
    The Besian Russian School Attackers were Muslims
    The first World Trade Center Bombers were Muslims
    The Bombay & Mumbai India Attackers were Muslims
    The Achille Lauro Cruise Ship Hijackers were Muslims
    The September 11th 2001 Airline Hijackers were Muslims
    This list does not of course report daily stabbings and murders of a few here or there done in the name of jihad, nor the thousands of attacks on Israel.

    Think of it:
    Buddhists living with Hindus = No Problem
    Hindus living with Christians = No Problem
    Hindus living with Jews = No Problem
    Christians living with Shintos = No Problem
    Shintos living with Confucians = No Problem
    Confucians living with Baha’is = No Problem
    Baha’is living with Jews = No Problem
    Jews living with Atheists = No Problem
    Atheists living with Buddhists = No Problem
    Buddhists living with Sikhs = No Problem
    Sikhs living with Hindus = No Problem
    Hindus living with Baha’is = No Problem
    Baha’is living with Christians = No Problem
    Christians living with Jews = No Problem
    Jews living with Buddhists = No Problem
    Buddhists living with Shintos = No Problem
    Confusians living with Hindus = No Problem
    ***WHEREAS***
    Muslims living with Hindus = Problem
    Muslims living with Buddhists = Problem
    Muslims living with Christians = Problem
    Muslims living with Jews = Problem
    Muslims living with Sikhs = Problem
    Muslims living with Baha’is = Problem
    Muslims living with Shintos = Problem
    Muslims living with Atheists = Problem
    MUSLIMS LIVING WITH MUSLIMS = BIG PROBLEM
    ?
    Even in the USA 60% of Muslims reject the concept of Freedom of Speech. 12% believed in the application of the Sharia-based punishment “blasphemy” and feel that Americans who criticize or parody Islam should be put to death. Nearly one-third (32%) of American Muslims polled believed “…Shariah law should be the supreme law of the land in the US.”

    Because Sharia law dictates the overthrow of the constitution, equal rights, separation of church and state, and advocates and legalizes rape and murder, it s sedition to promote it.

        Dolt, did you miss. “This list does not of course report daily stabbings and murders of a few here or there done in the name of jihad, nor the thousands of attacks on Israel”

        The global hacker group “Anonymous” has identified hundreds of ISIS web sites and thousands of ISIS twitter feeds. Their are over 100 Islamic terrorist organizations, all with thousands of members, some with over 100,000.

        Stealth Jihad, or civilization Jihad is the plan to advance Sharia Islam through political means, infiltration of government at all levels, infiltration of society at all levels; education, primary through college, They advocate and sponsor Jihad in ALL ITS MEANING establishment of Sharia in every society. Violent Jihad is the finale expression, done only in small parts here and there until an adequate portion of the population is Muslim. “Demographics is destiny” Sharia was ruled unconstitutional in what US court, or is that another assertion without evidence? My fear is justified as Muslims everywhere they form Muslim dominate communities ask for and begin to receive aspects of Sharia law.

        By the way the list of those affiliated with just the one recent Paris attack is in the 100s. Over 50 percent of US Muslims support Sharia. Go to the web site Jihad watch just to see some of the last two days terrorist attacks..

          Hubby had a report on yesterday. It was found that 25% of muslims worldwide (1.6 billion people) support ISIS.

          Now think about that number for a minute. Females out number males at birth but are pretty much 50% overall. Taking it most women are to cowed to have a real opinon that brings you to ~ 50% of the male population.

          In Saudi Arabia 51% of the population is under the age of 25. In the USA 27.3% were under the age of 20.

          So that brings you to OVER 50% of the fighting population and that doesn’t even get into the Tuqyah [practice of deception, lying or concealment for expediency]

          Given that the American revolutionaries were only 10% of the colonial population that should give any one with brains pause.

          http://i4.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article6224028.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/ISIS-world-map.jpg

          Here is a bit moreList of Foreign-Born Islamists Charged With or Convicted of Crimes in US

          …Per Senators Cruz and Sessions — “We have identified at least 72 individuals in the United States who, over the last year: have engaged in or attempted to engage in acts of terrorism; conspired or attempted to conspire to provide material support to a terrorist organization; engaged in criminal conduct inspired by terrorist ideology; or who have been sentenced for any of the foregoing,” Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) wrote in a Wednesday letter to President Obama’s administration. “We would like to understand more about these individuals, and others similarly situated in recent history, and the nexus between terrorism and our immigration system.” ….

          It was on Hubby’s computer which he just shut down and restarted. It was from Brigitte Gabriel (a Lebonese)
          Here is a link
          http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/22058/have-multiple-intelligence-services-estimated-that-15-25-of-the-muslim-populati

          ……

          Another woman is Ayaan Hirsi Ali she thinks Gabriel is underestimating.
          Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s ‘Heretic’ Asks Muslims: ‘Whose Side Are You On?’

          …Ali, who renounced Islam and now lives under constant protection due to fatwas that demand her assassination, talked to the New York Post about her new title.

          “The assumption is that, in Islam, there are a few rotten apples, not the entire basket. I’m saying it’s the entire basket,” Ali stressed, in calling for a revolution within Islam similar to the Protestant Reformation.

          The Heretic author, who spent her early childhood in Somalia and was brought up in other African countries, witnessed life under Islamic rule firsthand. In 1992, she escaped to Netherlands, following her renouncement of Islam and declaration that she was an atheist.

          In most Muslim majority nations, apostasy from Islam is punishable by death.
          Ali said:

          If you are a child brought up to believe that Islam is a source of morality … the Muslim framework presents you with the Quran and the hijab. I don’t want to be cruel and say, “You grow up and snap out of it.” But maybe we who have snapped out of it have not done our best to appeal to those still in it.

          In the book, Ali says that the majority of Muslims refuse to “challenge the Quran,” …They also neglect to fight for the rights of women and LGBT individuals or stand up against jihadists who claim to commit violent acts in the name of the religion, she adds.

          Ali opines, “I think we’re in a time now where we demand answers from Muslims and say, ‘Whose side are you on?’”

          And if you want to see PC Hypocrisy in action:
          Ayaan Hirsi Ali fights radical Islam’s real war on women

          ….During the Brandeis controversy, a CAIR spokesman called her “one of the worst of the worst of the Islam-haters in America.”

          But Hirsi Ali’s warnings about Islamic extremism were quickly supported by world events, as just a week after Brandeis rescinded her honorary degree, the Islamist terrorist organization Boko Haram kidnapped more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls in the first of many such abductions throughout the summer. A few months after the kidnappings began, news spread that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, another terrorist group, was selling Yazidi women into sexual slavery….

          If American liberals were as concerned about women’s rights as they claim to be, they would have to shift their focus to other countries, but that would mean giving up a cherished narrative about conservatives here at home and acknowledging the threat radical Islam poses to women worldwide.
          From Earlier: Ayaan Hirsi Ali slams modern American feminism’s “trivial BS”

          The left really really hates to have their hypocrisy revealed don’t they? Just Ask Little Martin the Gorebot. We already know which side the Mankind hating little gorebot is on.

        What sort of “exception” would agnostic Timothy McVeigh be? I’m a non-theist myself, and not anxious to claim the bastard, but he was not doing his horrific thing in the name of any religion. As it happens, his partner (the bomb maker Terry Nichols) went to Cebu in the Philippines to be trained in bomb-making by al-Qaeda, according to Clinton and Bush counter-terrorism czar Richard Clarke. So even the Oklahoma City bombing has a jihadist connection, ignoring the rumors of other jihadist involvement in the US itself for that attack.

        This article mentions Nichols’ overlap with al-Qaeda’s bombmaker, but omits what Clarke actually said about him — that before he went to Cebu, his bombs didn’t work, but after he came back they did:

      We’ve been over this before, Marsh. The Christian Bible contains lots of evil verses as well. Claim Muslims are evil because some Muslims are evil is no more valid than claim Christians are evil because some Christians are evil. Both claims are racist. That is the essence of racism. I think you will find that all the people killed by terrorism this year, no matter what religion, is dwarfed by the number of people killed by guns in the US this year. And that’s pretty much true every year, even 2001.

In addition the vast majority of religious terrorist activity is perpetuated by Islamists. Not all Muslims are evil, but Islam, as interpreted by the majority of Imam’s, is evil, and deadly, and vicious and cruel..

          David, what perspective are you talking about? I don’t hate Islam. I don’t fear Islam. In America, I am in far more danger of being killed by a gun than by a terrorist. I think religious fundamentalism is bad, whether it is Muslim, Christian, Jewish, etc. Whether it is violent or non-violent religious fundamentalism, it is simply wrong. Wherever there is a conflict between religious belief and scientific knowledge, scientific knowledge must be the choice. Governors may not refuse refugees. It’s against the law. We (the US) are in large part responsible (the Bush administration) for creating the refugee problem that exists today. Therefore, we are obligate to help refugees. And even if we were not obligated to take in refugees because of George W. Bush’s stupid war that he started based on lies that even I knew were lies, taking in refugees would still be the moral and ethical thing to do, because it’s what Jesus would have done.

          So to answer your question, I don’t think you have the chops to be able to change anyone’s mind.

        Anyone with the misfortune of doing business with muslim learns that is standard practice. If you are female it is even worse because you are invisible even to male children. (Barely averted nasty accident because of this.)

        Second the Koran is ordered chronologically. If an older and newer orders contradict it is the newer writing that is correct. And those writing are about killing or demeaning all those who are not male muslims.

        Islam is the Problem
        by Dr. Sami Alrabaa
        09 Feb, 2009

        Muslim Parasites and Non-Muslim Achievers
        Here are quick facts about Islam and Muslims:

        6. Where do Muslims get their consumer goods, in particular machines and sophisticated goods? From countries of hard-working non-Muslims.

        7. What do Muslim religious establishments and Muslim media teach and preach? Hatred and violence against non-Muslims and the West.

        8. Name one single Arab Muslim state that is ruled democratically, respects human rights and allows freedom of expression? None.

        9. Where is maiming and killing a daily practice? In Muslim countries, in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and earlier in Algeria, and Egypt.

        10. Name the most radical extremist organizations in the world. Al Qaida, the Talibans, Hamas, Hizbollah, the Salvation Front in Algeria etc. All Muslim organizations.

        11. Which country teaches hatred and violence in its schools? Saudi Arabia. And in which country do mosque imams preach hatred and violence against non-Muslims? In Saudi Arabia and other Arab/Muslim countries.

        24. Which religion approves of marrying minor girls of 8 and 9 years old? In Islam.

        25. In which part of the world is gender-apartheid is a daily practice? Saudi Arabia.

        26. Which people believe that the election of Barack Obama is the first step toward Islam taking control of America? Muslims.

        27. Which people do not believe in democracy and freedom of expression, but use these values, wherever they are, to advance Islam’s domination of the world? Muslims.

        28. Muslims believe that Shari’s (Koran + Hadeeth) must be applied everywhere. It is the law of Allah. Saudi Arabia applies the Shari’a. Is that the kind of society Muslims want to live in? Is that the kind of society which mankind dreams of?

        Islam Under Scrutiny by Ex-Muslims: Articles

        Who wrote these articles and Why?

        ….Having thoroughly understood—through our meticulous investigation of Islam for years to decades—that Islam was nothing but a lie forged by Muhammad, most of us have left Islam silently because of the threat to our life from believing Muslims, apostasy is punished with death in Islam. As Islamic terrorism and violence overwhelms the world, particularly in the post-9/11 years, we felt that it’s a responsibility upon us to make world’s 1.4+ billion Muslims aware of the falsity of their religion and its cruel nature, so that they can make informed choices and leave Islam to live with love, respect and harmony with the rest of humanity.

        We also felt it incumbent upon us to make the non-Muslim world aware of the reality of Islam, and take timely precautionary measures against this religion of terror, hatred and mayhem. We tell the world that the ongoing terrorism, unleashed by Islamic militants, is not an aberration from the so-called ‘peaceful religion of Islam’; instead, it is the real Islam preached and practiced by its founder, Prophet Muhammad. A thorough study of the Qur’an and prophetic tradition (Hadith, Sunnah) makes that obvious.

        We, therefore, have launched this website to expose the “real Islam”—the Islam that is determined to replace the modern civilization with the 7th-century Arab Bedouin barbarism, peddled by Muslims as the true Islamic Civilization.

        “…. I think you will find that all the people killed by terrorism this year, no matter what religion, is dwarfed by the number of people killed by guns in the US this year…..”

        And for once he is correct. The chances of being killed by a gun in the hands OF LAW ENFORCEMENT is much greater than death by terrorism.

      No, It is a true statement in the USA … for now. And unfortunately it is a growing problem as the Federal government takes over the training and equiping of local police via DHS Fusion Centers.

      Also in many cases the person was minding his own business, at home and not in any way a criminal when the police broke into the wrong house and killed the owner.
      “Why did you shoot me? I was reading a book” The statement was made by a security guard before he died.

      Cops Kill 8 Times More Americans Than Terrorists Do

      Many people have noticed that several of the local police officers, particularly the younger ones are more gruff, rude and even abusive as compared to the past. Many veteran officers attribute the shift towards DHS’ training of local police which focuses on teaching the police that the public is their enemy as opposed to the traditional view that teaches that the local population and the police are partners in keeping the community safe…

      America has become SWAT team happy. America has seen a disturbing trend towards militarization of its local civilian law enforcement, along with a dramatic and very disturbing rise in the use of paramilitary police units being used for routine police work. The most common use of SWAT teams today is to serve narcotics warrants, usually with forced, unannounced entry into the home. However, anyone can be SWAT-teamed, even those who default on their student loans have been SWAT-teamed….

      Since 9/11, and the subsequent militarization of the police by the Department of Homeland Security, about 5,000 Americans have been killed by US police officers. The civilian death rate is nearly equal to the number of US soldiers killed in Iraq. In fact, you are 8 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist.

      Number Of Officers Killed In The Line Of Duty Drops To 50-Year Low While Number Of Citizens Killed By Cops Remains Unchanged
      But as usual the stats are skewed since they don’t count ‘mistakes’

      …This statistical evidence suggests being a cop is safer than its been since the days of Sheriff Andy Griffith. Back in 2007, the FBI put the number of justifiable homicides committed by officers in the line of duty at 391. That count only includes homicides that occurred during the commission of a felony. This total doesn’t include justifiable homicides committed by police officers against people not committing felonies and also doesn’t include homicides found to be not justifiable. But still, this severe undercount far outpaces the number of cops killed by civilians.

      We should expect the number to always skew in favor of the police.

      According to statistics from the Bureau of Justice, 4,813 people have died while being arrested by police officers. 60% of those were homicides, a rate of ~400 per year.

      Look at Seattle. As Reason points out, 20% of its 2013 homicides were committed by police officers — 6 out of 29 total. A city with nearly 650,000 residents (and an infinite amount of chances to kill each other) only managed to outpace the city’s ~1,800 officers by a 5-to-1 ratio. One homicide per 300 officers versus one homicide per 22,000 residents.

      And just in case you wondered being a cop is not as dangerous as other jobs.
