So, how does it feel to be member of a non-tolerant, racist religion?
You and the word 'logic' are not compatible.

I wouldn't say [All] Christians are peaceful and tolerant. That's as simple-mindedly absolute as Hillary saying [All] Muslims are peaceful and tolerant.

However, in the year 2015, don't pull an Obama on me and go to the Crusades, I'd say that a much higher % of Christians than Muslims are peaceful and tolerant, at least as most people understand those words.

Not that it should matter to discuss what Hillary said about Muslims, I'm not Christian.

Hillary called Republicans an "enemy." Yet she says she won't say "Islamic terrorism" and similar because if she's president she'll one day have to work with Muslim leaders, so doesn't want to "offend them" beforehand.

We can assume then that she has no plans to work with the GOP, since she has no hesitation in calling them the enemy and being offensive to them. Get ready for more horrible gridlock with her!

SO WHY should anyone blame any Muslim for what the DIRTY disgusting few aberrant ones do?? Political Expedient!!

This seems to be an American Phenomena..(at least the fiery rhetorical ones)..To blame the whole for what just a very small portion does?? seems rather silly!! Why is that???
If you can't see how ridiculous it is to call the terrorists "radical jihadists" and then turn around and say that jihadists have nothing to do with Islam ... then I can't help you.

But maybe a dictionary can.

Maybe we could start with the 1972 Olympic Games and list all the terroristic acts not committed by Muslims.

Hostages in Iran
Beirut embassy bombing
USS Cole
Benghazi
Charlie Hebdo
Boston Marathon

Yeah Hillary. All those Buddhist and 7th Day Adventist terrorists are giving us so much trouble.

Could not agree more. I think Hillary's biggest problem is that she's probably mixing that alcohol with prescription medication, and it's creating rather large problems for her.

As I've said before, it's 50/50 as to whether Hillary is even alive in Nov. 2016. She's led a hard life, what with being a former(?) smoker and all. She should have just run under the banner of "Clots and Senekot -- I Like Them Both".

And yet you libs call us cowards for not wanting to take in thousands of Muslims with extremist beliefs...:roll eyes:

Firstly, being against Islam or Christianity isn't racist, because those are religions, not races. There are thousand of people of different races in those two religions.

Secondly, Hillary's statement is stupid, and she's trying too hard to look like the new Obama. Of course not all Muslims are terrorists, but a significant amount are (and it doesn't take that many to do damage), and there are millions who believe the same way, even if they themselves don't engage in the violence. Her parroting Obama's PC is going to ruin her chances.

And the KKK/Westboro comparisons are lame. Westboro is despicable but doesn't carry out acts of violence, and the KKK is irrelevant these days.

Since Judaism is a much smaller religion and doesn't proselytize, it hasn't done nearly as much damage as the other two have throughout their history. And Christianity these days is certainly not as hateful as Islam.

They're not even worthy of mention, they're so irrelevant.
BTW, the WBC is just a group of attorneys posing as a church for the tax and speech benefits; a complete facade.

Yet leftists can't help themselves, with bringing up these boogeymen.
Next thing you know, it will be crusader and inquisitor zombies rising from the grave to get them.

Maybe it would be a good idea to look at this timeline in more detail. Why did these things start when they did, after hundreds of years of non-radicalism? What brought radicalism back to Islam? Then check into the CIA activity in encouraging the radicalism, arming these folks against Russia, etc. The US created a monster with evidently no thought that they might every lose control of their creation.
