And how many people has this radical hate group who claims to be Christian based killed in the past twenty years? And how many people have radical Muslim groups killed in the past twenty years - heck, I don't even expect you to try to add that up - how 'bout in the past two years???? Two months? They've probably killed more people in the past two WEEKS than the Aryan Nation members have EVER killed.
Just for some perspective.
The issue is not who is worse. The issue is about generalizing an entire group of people based on the actions of a few.

Tell that to the people around the GLOBE today being terrorized and victimized and killed and maimed by violent radical Muslims.
It IS a matter of "who is worse" when you try to compare the Aryan Brotherhood to Muslim jihadists who are wreaking deadly havoc across the world. Both groups are despicable, but one is much more active, has a much greater following, is very well financed and sophisticated in many ways, and is actively threatening entire countries on a daily basis (and often carrying out those threats). You tell me which one it is.
If I have to choose between the threat of a can of spray paint vs the threat of a suicide bomber or someone sawing my head off with a butcher knife, I choose the idiot with the can of spray paint - but hey, that's just me.

That's a strawman point, Kathryn. I never said the actions of the Aryans were equal to that of Islamic terrorists. For the second time: my only point is that it is not fair to judge an entire group based on its few radical members. What about that is so difficult to understand?
Lt. Moaz al-Kasasbeh was Muslim. I think you're doing his memory a bit of disservice here.
I clarified that I don't mean that all Muslims are idiots. The Muslims who burned this young man alive certainly were though - and there are a lot more where those came from, unfortunately.
Be it "few" or "large numbers", the point is it is not likely most.
No, he was very clear that it is majorities of Muslims.
