Good thing radical Islam is a tiny extreme minority of terror and violence, not religion. One might mistakenly thing one was investigating and inadvertently demonizing an entire religion of billions for the acts of those few hundred that use religion for extremist political purpose.

And nobody would want that, surely.

Of course not...but you can't easily separate religion from those who bastardize it for their purposes.

Well ... one group is a couple hundred violent, threatening political terrorists hiding out in Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan.

The other are a few billion peaceful, normal, average people, including millions of your fellow Americans.

Confirm that the problem is a teeny, tiny wingnut crazy minority who co-opts a radical view of an entire religion for their own political purpose? It's already been confirmed. We pretty well know the type of unhappy young male that is "targeted" by radicals (of all stripes).

There is no comparison at all between killing and hate words, obviously, but radicalized religious terrorists don't represent Islam any more than Westboro Baptist represents Christians.

I'd say its the difference between 10% and 0.00001% but who cares about those differences.

besides.. the radical Muslims have caused a hell of a lot more problems than westboro baptist.

Do you even remember 9/11? you sure dont act like it.

No, except just in the sentence I wrote, that you are responding to. Geeshus cripes ....

yeah we've been fighting a 10 year war against a couple hundred people.

100,000,000 Muslims who support a radical version of Islam.

Repeatedly quoting that pulled-from-thin-air number doesn't help your case.

Yes - there are only a couple hundred, or less, of Al Quaeda left.

my number of 100,000,000 are people who support a radical version of Islam. aka support Sharia Law (but you already knew that as I've said it a million times - you just like to misrepresent things quite often). it is estimated to be 10% of Muslims.

If anything... my number is low. Its probably more like 150,000,000

That number is ridiculous, and was made up, pulled out of thin air and spread in the fear-mongering wing of American media. There is zero validation for it.

We could round up every Muslim, and lock them up in safe camps. We can let them out when the fear of terrorism has passed, or as each one proves they are true Americans.
