Another liberal who doesn't have the courage to answer.

I did not compare people to food. I posed a hypothetical trying to figure out what your tolerance would be, to exposing yourself or someone you love, to a 1% chance of death. We all know you wouldn't eat one chocolate, yet if any conservative expresses concern about the fact that 1% of Muslims want to kill us, you say that person is a fear monger. What's the difference, exactly, Nebe?

I like how Jim, a self described actuarial, just makes up statistics. Well, he did take a religious studies class in college

Nebe, your chances of being killed by a black person or death by car accident are much higher than being killed by an Islamic Extremist. Considering there are about 45 million black people in this country and 256 million registered vehicles how do you get out of bed?

To be fair, Obama is working on trying to equalize those stats in 10,000 or 100,000 batches. Your chances of being killed by a Muslim, after enough are immigrated and propagate like bunnies (and they don't believe in abortion), will, in a generation or two, be more properly represented. We've got to transform this country into a more representative balance of death threats. After all, there aren't enough ways of being killed now. Unortunately, a good portion of the Muslim women won't be allowed by their religion to drive, so the double whammy of being killed by a Muslim and a car at the same time will be a bit less than it should be. Can't have everything.

Yes Spence. Any data I post that you don't happen to like, is made up. Out of curiosity, what% of the world's 2 billion Muslims, do you suppose support the jihadists?

Mohammed was a conqueror and a slave trader. I don't think that's disputed by anyone who is taken seriously.

"Nebe, your chances of being killed by a black person or death by car accident are much higher than being killed by an Islamic Extremist"

That's also likely true, for now. But it doesn't disprove anything I ever said.

One link I found. Is Pew considered very biased? I don't know...

I will wait for you to tell me what % of Muslims you think support jihadists. Can't wait.

Yes, you just make stuff up you don't really understand. If there were really 20 million sociopaths (definition: a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience) driven to religious violence we'd have a much bigger problem than we do.

I like how your link above cites an even bigger number though. I quote "Shedding Blood For Allah: Pew Study Says More Than 350 Million Muslims Support Violent Jihad" when the Pew study says no such thing.

Perhaps should have had a pause when you read the site's own description "Using mostly news reports, Moral Compass pokes fun at the delusional claims by people of faith that belief in God equips them with superior moral standards."

That sounds credible to me.

I'd say your comprehension of Jihad or even global Islamic affairs struggles to keep pace with Donald Trump.

Mohammed was a conqueror and a slave trader. I don't think that's disputed by anyone who is taken seriously.

Is this that much different than the founders of our Nation who conquered Native Americans and engaged the trade of African Slaves for over a century?

Do you think that in the medieval sectarian world in which Mohammed lived if you weren't conquering you would be the conquered? You learned that in your religious studies 101 class right?
