too bad the West has bigger and better scythes I guess...........
It's not the size of the dog in the fight...
It's the fight in the dog!!!
If people start to vilify/attack me or my missus they'll know all about extreme the pricks!
I deeply resent your comments. I am not a bigot.
17 terrorists hijacked planes on 9/11 and used them as weapons to kill innocent Americans.
Yet you, the real bigots, judge all gun owners by the actions of a few.
In my world you have to be suspicious before the crime happens and hope you can avert the disaster.

Where did I call you, personally, a bigot?
In your response to kayla commenting: "What's ironic to me is that the people who are so quick to condemn a whole group are the same folks who say we shouldn't judge all gun owners by the few crazies who go out and shoot up a school/movie theater."
You responded: "Exactly Kayla but we can't use logic to debate with these people because they're bigots...
Their hearts and minds have been made up for them by CNN & Fox!"
You make broad statements you know apply to a large number of people and when someone objects to your blanket statements you fall back on "Where did I name you personally?" That's lame at best.
"17 terrorists hijacked planes on 9/11 and used them as weapons to kill innocent Americans."
That's debatable, in fact so much so that I steer clear of 9/11 subjects...
It's a dead horse... I won't join in beating it...
Debatable? How can you say that?
Yet you, the real bigots, judge all gun owners by the actions of a few.
"When did I judge Gun owners?
You're confusing me with someone else pal..."
See above response to kayla. You seem to have some short term memory issues. When its convenient...
In my world you have to be suspicious before the crime happens and hope you can avert the disaster.
"& in the real world people are innocent until proven guilty!"
Innocent until proven guilty does not imply standing by ignoring potential threats and pretending there are no dangerous people who want to kill anyone who does not share their religious belief. They are innocent until proven guilty. That is why they are not in jail. That doesn't mean they aren't suspect. It only means they haven t been caught committing a crime against humanity.

This thread is about expected vilification of Muslims...
Quite simple really!

Sorry but unless they talked to 100% of the people who identify themselves as devout muslims and 44% of them told this study that they are radical then I'm calling bs.
Care to post the study to see what numbers they used?

I don't doubt that muslim people do not want to be vilified or hated simply because of their religion. At least they wont be beheaded like Christian children caught up in a religious war they had nothing to do with.
The first Crusade captured Jerusalem after bitter fighting, and the residents of the city were brutalised and slaughtered by the Christian invaders. The invaders' conduct breached the principles of modern just war ethics, and the massacres still colour Islamic politics today.

Are you just for equal hate, or what's your deal?
