Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Suspected Boston Bomber, May Not Get Islamic Funeral From Wary Muslims

[Sofiyya 1,687]

There are 1.2 billion Muslims. If they were all nasty terrorists who wanted to blow up innocent people and force Sharia law on the rest of us I'm sure they would have done it by now.

How many terrorist attacks have there been by Muslims? A few hundred maybe? So that means that almost all the 1.2 billion Muslims in the world have not committed a terrorist attack and have no plans to ever do so.

But to the typical knuckle dragging thickos who've never left their own state and have no clue what goes on in the world that doesn't matter. All 1.2 billion Muslims are terrorists and all 1.2 billion Muslims are responsible for the actions of a miniscule minority. Ug me American me great. You Muslim you evil terrorist. You all die.

I watched 3 people die and many more have their legs shredded in my city by 2 evil b*stards who happen to be Muslim. I don't hate Muslims. I only hate the 2 that did this to us. The other 1.2 billion have done nothing wrong.

We're more likely to be a victim of Angry White Guy violence than any attack by pseudo Muslims.

Absolutely.

You certainly can have any religion preach peace while condoning evil.

Jim Jones and David Karesh come to mind as well known Christian examples, Bin Laden and company as Muslim examples.

Slavery and Manifest Destiny spring to mind as historical US evils, supported by Christian thinking at the time.

The problem with your framing of the Radical Islam issue is that you excommunicate adherents and try to wipe away their own claims instead of recognizing that they don't represent mainstream Islam any more than the whacked out Christian examples I gave do represent mainstream Christians.

There are those who lump all Muslims into the extremist mold, but as I stated earlier in this thread, there is no resemblance beyond verbiage between mainstream Muslims and Radical Muslims. Two very different groups.

Jones and Karesh are good examples of Christian stupidity. But since you used them as examples, exaclty how many innocent many innoncent people did they kill. I do think all the people that died were there own followers. if the extremist religious Muslim nut jobs want to start killing themselves instead of innocent men women and children. It's ok by me

Absolutely.

so you have some evidence that says most of the violence in the US is by angry white guys,. Funny

I didn't say that.

I said it's more likely to be a victim of a crime done by an angry white guy than someone who says they're a Muslim carrying out an attack in the name of Islam.

That does not translate to "most of the violence in the US is by angry white guys" no matter how you'd like to spin it. Have some more coffee before responding to things in the morning if you can't comprehend them.

and I think westboro are under a hundred and we have to put Police around them everywhere they go to keep someone from killing them. Doubt they could run a terrorist network in this country

westboro is an example. do you have any idea just how many muslims live peacefully, all over this world, with no connection whatsoever to terror?

Apparently people with no connection to it should speak out against it (more than they already do, of course) because it would make people feel better. Even though the outcry against terrorism from the Muslim world is already falling on deaf ears.

and the majority of the time, they're killing innocent muslim men women and children. further, they recruit children very young, and tell them very little about what they're doing, all while strapping bombs to their eight year old chests. why do they have to recruit so young now?

And for the record, these guys are white muslims, or does being a muslim cancel out the whiteness?

when i was a kid, way way before 9/11, i was told in church that muslims were terrorists overseas. muslims in the us were okay, although they were going to hell for worshiping the wrong god. they were definitely not 'like us'.

i'm guessing the majority of americans my age and older were raised with these generalizations, for the most part. i can only begin to imagine the portrayal muslims get with american kids today.

[decocker 7,198]

Jones and Karesh are good examples of Christian stupidity.

with christians the issue is stupidity. with muslims the issue is evil. ?

and if we are going to tally the total number of dead, from each respective religion, how far back are we going? i'm sure you know both ideologies have had their fair share of bloodshed.
