We have a lot of Muslims here in Canada and all they want is to be Good law abiding citizens. Just like any group of people there will be some bad apples in the bunch. In this country we have actually had more problems with radical Shiks and Tamils. I feel very fortunate to live in a country where if you get up and preach hatred against any group it would take about 10 minutes before you were sitting in the back of a cop car handcuffed and in one big heap of stinking trouble.
You nay not even make bail and you could sit in a jail call of months until your trial.
Needless to say, we don't have a lot of hate filled orators spouting their poison in public in this country.
Are they saying that men will be killing them?
Are they saying that men will commit violence against them?
Are they trying to make people fear men?
Stupid comparison, but expectedly stupid.
Yes, in fact they are. Try educating yourself.
Besides which, your questions don't relate to the comparison I made. If you want to refute what I said, then refute what I said. Don't bring up 3 completely separate things. Of course deflection has always been a standard debating tactic from leftists.

Reason: rude
Funny how the same people who ranted "nuke Iraq and Afghanistan!!" after 911 have changed to "Obama is a murderer!" now that he's the President instead of Bush.
The mentality of okay when "we" do it, bad when "they" do it, unfortunately has been around too long.
It's always about policy.
Yet your Master in Chief is killing them and treating them like filthy animals. 'Cause after all they're not human right? If they were, we'd have to respect their rights, quit occupying their land, and stop murdering their people.
How's the occupation in the Middle East going? Our involvement in never ending wars end yet?
Meanwhile, U.S. drones are killing children and terrorizing families abroad. Earlier this year, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism found that 176 children have been murdered in Pakistan alone. And along with drone attacks, an average of 4.8 children are killed per day in Afghanistan where earlier this year, a U.S. sergeant is reported to have killed 9 children. Will these murders be deemed worthy of our thoughts and prayers, or even our news headlines?
"Yet, something about this seems entirely hypocritical; we as Americans largely ignore when our own government, in countries around the world, murders innocent children but when an American child dies, our media and our nation can focus on nothing else."
With the type of weaponry available - it doesn't take many people.
There are roughly between 2.5 and 3 million Muslims in the US. What is "most"? If 90% are good then that leaves 300,000 radicals. What if we are talking 0.1% who are radicals - that's 3,000 people. It only took 19 to wipe out WTC, damage the Pentagon and take out 4 planes and 3,000 Americans.
According to you, there are 300,000 radical Muslims in the US that have assault rifles or some other form of deadly weapon hidden under their prayer rugs. How many Americans who have committed mass murder in schools and theaters in the US were Muslim???
Think about it: There are 4 million members of the NRA. There are millions who are licensed and not members of the NRA. There are millions of individuals who own multiple weapons. There are thousands of individuals who belong to extremist groups in the US (and would be anti-Muslim). And you are worried about 300,000 Muslims who you imagine have weapons???
In my opinion, there is no such thing as an "American" Muslim.
How do you come to that conclusion? Someone who is second or third generation American, who happens to be raised a Muslim because that has been his families faith for generations, isn't an American Muslim??? What would that person be? How about someone who is generational American and can trace their family back 100 years, was raised Catholic, but converted to Islam? What would that person be?
