Did you see this story? These gay activists who aren't too bright were caught on tape saying they'd like to "kick Judge Kennedy's ass, then string him up, and kick his ass again." They said this before the Supreme Court ruling. As I said, they aren't too bright. They had no idea that Judge Kennedy was going to be the deciding vote in their favor.

You claim, "The reason our nation's government does not permit legal murder of homosexuals is because our government is SECULAR." What are you smoking? Our government being secular has nothing to do with the murder of any people being illegal. Where do you come up with this stuff? I think most people are against murder, regardless of whether they are religious. I haven't seen any evidence that Christians are more tolerant of murder than atheists.
Just curious. What is your magic number Let's call it the OU perecentage that you use before condeming a group based upon a small minority of them?

If the person is Muslim, I believe he works from a sample size of one.

Yes, how did you know? Any negative views I have on Islam are based on this one case that I heard about where a Muslim man slapped his wife. That's it. Aside from that, there is nothing to be critical about when it comes to Islam. There is nothing negative aside from that. I can't figure out where the criticism of Islam comes from.

What do you think Muslims throughout the world thought of Osama bin Laden a few years after 9/11? Here is the answer: Osama bin Laden is viewed favorably by large percentages in Pakistan (65%), Jordan (55%) and Morocco (45%).

If it was in the 10-20% range, I would say that would definitely qualify. If it's in the one out of 100,000 range, that would not come close to qualifying.
