There are waaaaay too many extreme Islamists, but to generalize it on the whole religion is simplistic, misguided, and feeds into the hand of the terrorists.

Muslims have been slaughtering Muslims since the battle of the camel right after Muhammed kicked the bucket. It's not ISIS, it's Islam. Since 1946 over 10 MILLION Muslims have been slaughtered by other Muslims.

But, if we profile Muslims we are bad, and if we don't because we think of them as a noun we are good. Yes, very confusing.

The Taliban and Isis are fighting for the golden ticket right now, some of us will lose our lives during their fight.

As I keep saying, your religious beliefs are a choice. If you choose Muslim then you obviously don't mind aligning yourself with those who blow **** up. I'll try my best to sort you out but I can't promise you a rose garden.
I think this describes progressives in the USA..........really no firm ground to hang on to, so "the progressive" tries to eliminate those with pride for their country and religious freedom.


No Borders and No Culture make people easier to control.

The part of History most teachers leave out, due to many not knowing History to begin with.

Politicians have exploited rifts between religious denominations and sects since forever to achieve goals that have nothing to do with religion.

Religion is a tool.

We actually used to have Education in the United States. Now Education is nothing more than a platform for Ideology and a Jobs Program for those that call themselves "Teachers" (indoctrinators).

Yes it has come to this.

If ISIS is not representative of Islam, can you point me toward all the Christians in ISIS? Does ISIS have a Jewish sect? Is the atheist ISIS sect big?

Yes. No religion has ever had adherents fight each other over the interpretation of the religion. /s
