Well said.
-------------------- The above is an extract from my fictional novel, "The random postings of Edame". In the beginning was the word. And man could not handle the word, and the hearing of the word, and he asked God to take away his ears so that he might live in peace without having to hear words which might upset his equinamity or corrupt the unblemished purity of his conscience. And God, hearing this desperate plea from His creation, wrinkled His mighty brow for a moment and then leaned down toward man, beckoning that he should come close so as to hear all that was about to be revealed to him. "Fuck you," He whispered, and frowned upon the pathetic supplicant before retreating to His heavens.

If you deny others their humanity, you deserve to be denied your own.
Not every Muslim is a terrorist. But, there is a very disconcerting thing that is occurring around this world. Everywhere where there is an insurrection, 95% of the time it is caused by Muslim fundamentalists. Often they seem to engage in horrific tactics(such as the killing of innocent civilians, torture, barbaric murders, etc...). If Islam is a peaceful religion, why are there millions of Muslims around the world who think that these vicious acts of violence against non-combatants are justified?
All religions have their extremists. But, Muslim extremists seem to outnumber all other extremists by a vast margin.
I think every one of these people should be tracked down and systematically executed so that their fetid existences come to an end.

Islam is still relatively young as a religion. It's basically at the point right now that Christianity was at during the Middle Ages. I think if we give it time, it'll go from terrorist attacks to just annoying televangelists asking for money.

Great. That means if we leave them alone to kill and maim at will, eventually they'll get over it and we can all live happily ever after.
I'm sure those who are killed by them will be glad to know it'll all work out in the end.

"the killing of innocent civilians" your right, and seeing as how this never happens when any other countries or sub fedral orginizations wage war or commit acts of terror, its a brilliant argument as to why sand niggers are evil...
"Great. That means if we leave them alone to kill and maim at will, eventually they'll get over it and we can all live happily ever after."
it was a joke.

Please provide sources instead of pulling bogus statistics out of your ass.

Ever heard of My Lai?
If Islam is a peaceful religion, why are there millions of Muslims around the world who think that these vicious acts of violence against non-combatants are justified?
If America is such a peaceful country, why are there millions of Americans who unthinkingly support every single military action the United States takes?
Islamic fundamentalists who use violence to support their ideology are scum. American nationalists who support the use of state violence to support THEIR ideologies are also scum. I don't take sides in these matters. Anybody who supports the use of violence to support their ideologies is scum.
All religions have their extremists. But, Muslim extremists seem to outnumber all other extremists by a vast margin.
Patriotism/nationalism is also a religion, and has plenty of extremist adherents all over the world. They are also scum.

So you can say "That's not what I meant by them, please state where i defined the meaning of them, I bet you can't". Why not explain precisely what you mean for once?

Really? Then why are there so many more Islamic terrorists than there are terrorists who kill in the name of Dogmatic Secularism?
Islam has a couple of built-in ideological problems. They won't go away just because we can identify various traces of dogmatism in other ideologies.

Who are you defining as "people"? Hussein ran "his" country the way he wanted. Castro runs "his" country the way he wants to.
