I would like to see a source for that, because even ISIS, probably the largest right now is estimated around 32K. Even still, Islamic terrorism accounts for a few percentage points of all terror attacks in the US and Europe throughout history.

Spend some time in India to see how poorly women are treated.
This is interesting, because when I read American feminists, I get the impression that we are the most evil nation on earth.

@middle-aged mom, You know what pleases them more? Knowing that the once-beloved, courageous liberals in America who stood for liberal values (equality for all religions and LGBT rights) have now put being PC ahead of everything and come to the defense of Islam to the point of saying we deserved 9/11 because some innocent people died in the Gulf War, or defending barbarism in the name of multiculturalism.

Throughout all of history, perhaps. Nowadays, certainly not.

As for those stats--http://www.wzb.eu/en/press-release/islamic-fundamentalism-is-widely-spread

Again, nobody has ever defended Islamist terrorism, some of us are just intelligent to know they aren't all Muslims, just like the KKK, Westboro Church, Timothy McVeigh, and Joseph Kony aren't all Christians.

And I meant a real source, not one from the "Benghazi Accountability Coalition"

A few percentage points? Really? Well, considering that Fort Hood Massacre was workplace violence, I'm surprised you counted that many.

You should read more, and worry less.

Statistically, there are lots of things you should be more worried about.
