I don't condone violence against abortion centers, but they only happen about once a decade.

timothy mcveigh was an devoted atheist and didn't do it in the name of Christianity.

What is wrong with calling a spade a spade?

I don't hate.

I strongly disagree with obama's policies, his dumb ass remarks and the people who make excuses for him.

I strongly disagree with most of islam, their radicalism, their hatred of the west.

and you're here splitting hairs.....

You mean "I strongly disagree with a radical, extremist, but vocal and powerful minority of Islam"? The majority of Muslims do not want to destroy the West.

As I say, it's not all muslims, but it's usually a muslim when there is terrorism.

You know it, I know it, hell....the world knows it!

Nice try, but stereotyping usually isn't true.

So you believe that you can bury your head in the sand and ignore the truth.

Good luck with that!

Too bad that's what you just did. You ignored the statistics.

You can use the word Islamist to be more specific and there are entire countries that are controlled by these groups. Whether it is Al Queda, ISIS, the Taliban, the Boko Haram or the countries that sponsor them, there is little analogy between them and local American born terrorist.

"Al Queda, ISIS, the Taliban, the Boko Haram" are all modern day examples of how Islam has spread throughout the world over the last 1400+ years- Through force, bloodshed and slavery. The propagation of Islam peacefully is a sham. How many people do you know personally who would convert? No one I know. These groups are exactly how the majority of Islam has spread throughout history. It's right in front of us to see.
