Not much 'outcry' about it, except when someone shoots up a school or a restaurant.
Show me where legal gun owners shoot others or get shot a "good deal of the time"', provide a link.

One doesn't have to go back that far. Just go back to 1925 to 1961.

He said they would prefer the world converts to Islam peacefully. Just accept it has to be done one way or another.

So yes -- Muslims are "peaceful" but you have to understand what their definition of that is.
You give an example of what one Muslim said. Do you know for a fact that he speaks for all Muslims? Is this the same as you thinking that everyone with brown skin is an illegal and uneducated?

What makes you think they don't? Do some research.

That's nothing more than your opinion. You too should do some research.

What do you suggest, a weekly rally where Muslims apologize for the actions of extremists?

I know a lot of liberals who don't like islam but I agree that the majority of islam supporters are liberal. Islam is not peaceful, the Muslim leaders in Europe have explained this many many times on television and YouTube. Islam is about conquest. It's against rights for women, gays, other religions... Just about everything America stands for.

All those Christians stoning women to death in public places and shouting Glory to Jesus! All the Christian soldiers who hide behind women and children or fight from inside churches and schools filled with civilians. All the journalists beheaded by Christians! Daily I see Jews killed, gang raped, tortured by Christians - and all the millions of Christian girls and women denied an education, a drivers license, forced to wear burkas, just like the Muslims do- how accurate your comparison is

What I don't understand about liberals is that they totally understand the barbaric nature of Nazis, white supremacy, KKK, homophobia,and mysogyny when it has to do with Americans, but when Islam is unabashedly about religious and gender supremacy they excuse and minimize it!??!
