I wasn't putting words in your mouth, I was asking you to clarify your point. You seemed to be agreeing with Midessan's remark about Muslims being idiots.
Actually I don't think that's what you were doing at all, because this is the totality of the post you directed at me.

Now Kathryn, I know you don't actually believe that all Muslims are violent radicals. Christianity has its own history of terrorism, does it not?
I don't see anywhere in that post that you are asking me to clarify my point.
Nope. All I have to do is have discussions with my Muslim friends to be clear that they are indeed nonviolent radicals. You come from the generation that habitually generalizes an entire group of people based on the images you see in the media, so I can understand why you would require some highly publicized official statement in which members of a group must denounce the actions of other members who are nothing like them to begin with.
No need to go back to the 16th century for Christian sins. Look no further than the Aryan Nation. A radical hate group who aligns themselves with the Christian faith.
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.

The redneck obsession with "Sharia Law" is just another guilty projection of so-called "christian" extremists, who are themselves bent on turning the U.S. into a quasi-theocracy "governed by God's laws" (aka, Dominionism).
Take Oklahoma, which became the first state to make it illegal for its judges to rely on sharia in November 2010. Yet Muslims make up less than 1 per cent of the state's population - a minuscule 30,000 out of 3.7 million Oklahomans. The residents of the Sooner State are as likely to be judged according to Jedi law as they are by Islamic law.

Did you read above my post about the Koran or Sharia Law. You do not to see where extreme radical Islamist beliefs have spread in the world? It is no way hysteria. Are you so convinced otherwise you can not see?
Irving, Texas, has the first Sharia COURT in the nation. Great Britain has 85.
These are courts in exactly the same sense that judge judy is a court.
Decisions issued by the "judge" may be accepted by the participants, but that is not the same thing as being legally enforceable if one or more of the participants objects.

That would be where the question mark came in. In posting that link, it came off as suggesting that it applied to all Muslims. You did not make it clear that you were implying no such thing.
