despite the fact that Muslims in our country are far more moderate than many believe (Apparently, all Muslims are terrorists to some here).
Muslims in the US are probably more moderate than in Western Europe, but there's still a rather significant problem with fundamentalism even in America. 51pc of mosques have violent texts on-site, and Muslims make up 1pc of the population and 80pc of the terror convictions.

Sauce?
http://www.terrorismanalysts.com/pt/index.php/pot/article/view/sharia-adherence-mosque-survey/html

The United States has, as of 2010, over 2000 mosques throughout the country. While I get the whole need for sampling size being a small percentage, the study only used 100 mosques in 2011 - which is not even 10% of the total amount.

I don't have time to read through the entire website - mind picking out the sections where it shows which texts are used, etc?
A sample size of 100 is more than enough for the 2106 mosques in America.

Hardly, especially since the mosques sampled barely represent a quarter of he country - 14 or 15 states.

100 samples of a population of 2,106 is sufficient for a confidence interval of ~9.

The states and locations were chosen randomly. The Central Limit Theorem justifies the use of sufficiently randomly selected subsets of a population to be sampled.

I don't see the problem. He made a very clear distinction between theocratic Muslims and secular Muslims, which I think most would agree that the former is utterly unelectable.

Any theocratic candidate should be unelectable - no matter the religion.

Agreed, but if we're talking proportionality here, a Christian theocrat is morally preferable to a Muslim theocrat.

That's still like saying Stalin is preferable to Zedong.

Despite my general disdain for Islam as a set of values and ideas, I have to agree with you. If we have a Christian as fundamentalist as a theocratic Muslim when it comes to the Old and New Testaments the Christian would probably be worse.

One religion's kill count was less than the other.

Islamic terrorists kill more people every year than the Inquisition did in 350.

And Christianity had a couple hundred years head start.

So I'd be surprised if the gap was at all wide.

Are you genuinely implying Christianity has a higher kill count?

I didn't say which religion is higher, that's for you to decide (And to be honest, I don't really care).

Hey man, you're the one who pigeonholed himself into a corner with a factually inaccurate implication, not me.

I figured Christianity would have a higher kill count in history times given the longer it's been around, the Crusades with all the raping and pillaging, etc, and other shit.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

Or you can just link this.

The largely Sunni Ottoman Empire is reckoned to have slaughtered at least 2 million Armenians during its renown genocide. Not to mention the Gulf War in which Muslim Iraq, in an imperialist act of aggression, invaded Muslim Iran with a resulting (some estimates say) death of 2 million people, racking up the death toll to a cosy 4 million altogether, which is just two of the various different acts of barbarism influenced by Islamic scripture.

The Crusades death toll comes in at about 2 million, and that's its highest estimate.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
