The religion of "peace" is based on a holy book that commands its readers to kill the infidel and that if you don't you burn forever as a coward.
Actually- further demonstrating how little you know, only about a quarter of the world's Muslims live in the middle east, and even they are mostly moderate. those few who aren't are the squeaky wheels of the region.

The bible instructs its sheep to slay all the infidels also. Same rules. The names have been changed to protect their immortal souls.

I welcome you to do more than just assert your superiority. I won't hold my breath.

Why, have you traveled the world to meet different muslims or you just read about it? Regardless, it doesn't matter because the fact is you still don't know most muslims and it's your opinion.

I work with Muslims every day at my job. Some grow up here after ther parents immigrated to the U.S., others are foreign exchange students. So, I know this "all Muslim planet" claim is complete and utter bullshit as far as moderate Muslims are concerned. The jihadists might be plotting for it, but obviously they're a minority within their religion.

So what? That means you can speak for all/most muslims? Once again, you CANNOT state an opinion as a fact that most muslims are moderate and passive (or any other claim about muslims or any group of people) for reasons I have already stated. What is so hard to understand here? Can you not just admit that you shouldn't have made that statement?

What are you talking about? Enough with the smoke screens. I called you out for making your opinion appear as a fact (which you do quite a bit of) and now you're dodging ...this is just fluff to divert from the fact you are in the wrong here.

PBS did a program on Muslims in America.


It was either Independant Lens or P.O.V.

PBS showed that moderate Muslims think that all-Islam planet will
happen - just as the extremists do - but not in their life-time.

Shall you call PBS a liar?

I've seen that one, and I know that's not in there. You lied.
