Not all Germans were Nazis either.
The saying does not attempt to address every instance of terrorist acts in the grand scheme of things, just the major block we face.

I believe that is generally known to be the case.

Well, that's why "Stop financing and arming Islamic terrorists?" was on my list. OBL is old news, we're funding more Islamic terrorists every year.

We are all aware of the former but smart money does not ignore the latter.
There is a need to identify your enemy rather than to become an apologist.
Do you have any integrity. We have a right wing extremist Christian problem in this country that is more of a threat. That does not mean there is no right wing extremist Muslim problem in the world but if we are talking about the USA then we should spend more time culling our own homemade problem before we go bat sh$t crazy over people living thousands of miles away.

Where specifically is anyone apologizing for terrorism? Questions like mine are asked all the time and there is never an answer. A deflection maybe but no answer.

For violence? B.S.
And any "evidence" of this out of the Obama administration government arms cannot be trusted.

But, you're free to continue being scared of this boogeyman...

You are by saying we should worry more about fundamentalist preachers than fundamentalist Imams in America.

Fundamentalist preacher will get people to get out and tell people that drinking, fornicating and all the fun stuff we like to do is sin.

What will the fundamentalist Imams tell us? Probably the same but if we don't stop they will help us get to hell faster. Especially if we mock their prophet.

Well, I'm not creating post after post on any threat. I'm simply pointing out that if one were to worry, then one should worry about right wing extremist Christians. Honestly, I don't think about it. I am responding to a post only. Not sure what Obama has to do with it beside the fact that electing a Black man to the White House increased the numbers of these extremist groups or the numbers in their rank.

There is lots of info out there. Here's a recent opinion piece that gives an overview. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/16/op...reat.html?_r=0 Enjoy your Saturday.

So let's sanction our government over this. I'm all for it.

It's in there. Right wing extremist Christians didn't attack Libya and make a mess out of that country. When will we sanction those who did that?

Right. Not sure what that has to do with me talking about the US. I think we are talking about two different issues here. As for sanctioning, not sure what kind of sanctions you are talking about? That could be a restriction or permission to...

Yes we are discussing separate things but the point is extremism comes in many forms.
