Amal Clooney is a Muslim, and so is Shaquille O'Neal. I think they are okay.
There is a moderator of City data is a Muslim and I think he is a great guy. hmm, I don't know. I still cannot say all Muslims are bad..
That isn't the point. Its not good or bad. Syrians in Syria were just fine. And of course many are not even Syrian. Human beings are interesting creatures on the personal level. However at the cellular level, its biochemical and heartless. I think nothing of giving a blood sample. 1 cell in 10 trillion is just noise. Same thing when its millions of people. As a whole it nothing but animal instinct, the individual are lost in the noise. Once the flight or fight initiated in the stew of humanity, people like that die. Good people on both sides, die.
agree with the bolded, plus, in order to deal with terrorism, we need to work with the Muslim community, simply demonizing them is obviously not working.
Absolutely. It seems like our efforts usually involve throwing more gasoline on the fire and then wondering why it's burning hotter and hotter.
They're both toxic cesspools of idiocy. Islam has been worse the past few decades or so. They are, quite literally, different branches of the same tree, though. If you deny this, you don't know the religions too well.
That's worse than saying liberals and soviets are literally different branches from the same left-leaning tree.
Obama is an idiot. One of the worst presidents we have ever had. I'm ready for January 20, 2017, no matter who wins the race, at this point. OK, as long as Jeb and Rand don't win.

I see your point, I really do.

Yeah... Like I posted earlier, I know a Muslim Marine who is very gung ho about being a Marine, and he has no problems killing any terrorists. He is a very honorable person and an honorable Marine. I wish I have a solution.. But I don't. I wish good people are not unfairly treated or demonized.. Sad situation..
Terrorism committed in the name of Islam, yes. Do you see the difference?
I don't hold all my Christian friends responsible for what a very loud and vocal minority says and does to try to dominate and inject their religion into our government and daily lives.
Religion is neither good nor bad. It is man's interpretation and application of it that usually runs astray.
It is 2015. We are immensely wiser as a people, more educated and technologically advanced. Time for EVERYONE to put their fairy stories away and be civilized grownups.
Agreed. So much of this religious warfare seems like the infighting between the greek gods as they are trying to keep Ulysses from getting home.
To be rewarded, you must follow the gospel. Both make similar references, of what to do with non-belivers.
Not making it into heaven v. beheading
Tolerance v. intolerance
I leaning toward Christianity being the lesser of 2 evils.
