I asked to see the polls which supported your statements. So why would you show me a poll that was "not in relation to the data" your statements were based upon?
The second statement was about a poll that shows acceptance of sharia law is high in countries that accept sharia law? Holy shit!!1 Maybe we can do a poll that shows acceptance of the Ten Commandmants is high among Christians. Or how about acceptance of democracy is high among citizens of democratic nations? People who shop at Publix prefer to shop at Publix. In other news, most Ford dealerships prefer to sell Fords while statistics show Chevy dealerships predominantly sell Chevys. In a recent poll at a Browns vs. Bengals home game, fans in attendence at the Bengals game were more likely to support the Bengals than the San Francisco 49ers.
Quote:Places like Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Iraq, Morocco, Nigeria, Algeria, Afghanistan etc...... countries that hold the higher percentages of Muslims are at an average of 70% or higher in those polls when it comes to preference of Sharia Law. The other countries listed only account for 0.1-1% of Muslims that live in those countries.
Well, obviously you didn't understand my explanation of percentages and absolute numbers.
Quote:Okay lets back up here. I'm not saying Christians have never done anything wrong and aren't currently doing anything wrong. I feel like we're getting away from the context of the argument.
This argument stems from the fact that I'm worried about radical Muslims invading our country.
That's just comical. How do you propose they will invade the country and overthrow the government? By infiltrating the government one jihadist at a time?
Quote:Yes, there are Christian terrorists, and there are Christians that commit acts of violence. Again, this is not about keeping Muslims out. This is about keeping radicals from flowing into our country.
Really? Your article isn't about Islamic terrorists. It is about a Muslim woman who is a former Chief of Staff to the Secretary of State who you suspect is a covert jihadist infiltrator despite a complete lack of evidence to support your paranoid delusions.
Quote:If there were an uprising of Christian terrorist groups claiming they want to destroy America, I'd be worried about them too. But the thing is, I don't see this happening. Can you point me to it? I'm not talking about lone terrorist activity by Christians. I'm talking about Christian terror groups that are actively talking about taking over/attacking America.
This is why I'm finding it hard to compare radical Islam and radical Christianity in the sense of why I'm worried about one over the other. Radical islamists seem to be extremely vocal about taking down America whereas I don't see this with Christians.
What do you think Muslims would think of a "Christian" country (we'll call it America) which invaded a predominantly Muslim nation (Iraq) and overthrew the government based upon lies (pursuing active WMD programs, ties to al Qaeda) who has also supported Israel for decades?
Can you name a Muslim country which has invaded a Christian nation and deposed its government based upon lies?
