So if there are Christians who have demonstrated a lack of self control we can assume that all Christians lack self control.

Well given that the Moro in the Philippines are actually natives who have been majority Muslim for more than 500 years and predate the arrival of Christianity, the argument could be made in Mindanao that it's the Christians who are a "fair nuisance" there.

If you find that you worry constantly about suicide bombers, I would suggest Xanax.

That wasn't an argument at all. It was a snarky comment designed to simply dismiss your own logically fallacious argument that spawned it.

Perhaps you missed it but the reason the guy in Florida shouldn't burn their book is because Muslims would get outraged and be violent...

It was considered a 'National Security' issue as violence was expected.

You remind me of those Germans before WWII...

But they can not, because that would be a moderate approach. It's apostacy and death or remain Muslim -- even if you were a Christian who converted to Islam.

This thread is right on the money. I have quite a few Muslim friends and they wonder the same thing too. As I explained in another thread, one of them is gay. He is not allowed in ANY Mosque, nor will any local Imam teach him about the Quran. He is attending a local Christian church here in the DFW area. So many American Muslims are quiet, when it comes to the violence that their fellow brethren commit against other peoples(I am including Buddists, Hindu's, other non-radical Muslims, Jews, Christians, Agnostics, etc) around the world. My friends just shake their heads(and yes have spoken out against the said violence in our townhall meetings) in disgust about the image that many around the world have about Muslims, but understand why that is.......

No I didn't miss it.

How does quoting or pointing out the actions non-moderate Muslims provide insight on how moderate Muslims will behave?

LOL HD, I don't do pills or meds very often certinaly not of any muslims yet.. I object to them blowing up air planes over Scotland, pushing cripples off cruise ships, killing olympics players, flying into the towers, attempt to blowing up the before mentioned planes. Blowing up trains is Spain, killing movie goers in Russia, breaking both English and French Laws.

I object to the cutting off of hands and feet, running cars over 8 year old boys caught stealing bread. The way they treat women, the way they treat other than muslims, and the list just goes on.

If they were to come and try me all I can say is they better bring a lot of body bags. I have several of the same type of popular weapons they have so they fer sure will need em.

No one is going to hack off my head with the dullest knife in the shed in this life time.

I don't need any more proof to understand they are dangerous unwantton killers. That fact was proven long ago. I don't see pandering to them improves anything either. You give them one inch and they come back demanding a mile.

Their book is full of pain, punishments, and crime in the name of Allah.

Maybe when i get done reading mine, i will use it for the best use it has toliet paper.

I have my doubts if there are really that many 'moderates'...
