The "extreme" groups of some religions comprise a much larger segment of their population than the "extreme" groups of others.

In the US, you may have a group of 6 extremists traveling around the country demonstrating at funerals or hear about some church handling snakes, but you never see a crowd of a hundred or more stoning a woman to death for holding hands with a man who isn't her husband.

Do you see the difference? I'll just assume that you don't.

ISIS / America... a study in 2 ultimate extremes.
Guess you have never been to Ultra- Orthadox Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn. The Modesty Police are alive and well.

Oh the difference is understood but doesn't tow Dear Leader's talking points to his minions.

" their population"

Who is them?

The majority of Muslim women in the world do not wear the burka. Nor do they require a male guardian to leave their home.

The Haredi in Israel, an Ultra- Orthadox Jewish sect , wear the burka.

Most Muslim majority countries do not condone stoning. Saudi Arabia, long time US ally, permits stoning. Go figure, eh.

Robin Williams knew what was up. It's all about the eyes.

There's fashion advice in the Bible. I'm sure some don't care to follow it. - It's like the gay thing, that's bad because it's in the Bible that it's bad, but short hair, short skirts and makeup is fantastic - %&*($W the Bible and gimme what I want, even if it says that is bad, too.

The story of Adam and eve. They got kicked out of the garden of eden because they put cloths on. Not for being naked. So if you want to get back to god then take your cloths off and feel no shame.

Yup, that's because such men are *ssholes.
Blame YOUR faults on the women you mistreat and suppress - the philosophy of the evil.
It's not MY fault I beat her up, she MADE me do it.
It's the oldest and most pitiful excuse in the book.
