    Hahahaha! This post is hilarious, and is showcasing your ignorance.

    Most Muslims never started acting like psychopaths. They never started, and so there is nothing for them to have to change.

    Some people whine when people claim whites are being racist. The fact is that most whites don't act racist, so those people resent being thought of as racist. They're so sensitive to that. boo freaking hoo. Tell whites to stop being racist, otherwise they can stop your whining and be taken seriously.

    For you to act like Muslims shouldn't be upset for being stereotyped is ludicrous. Anyone who is stereotyped because a minority of people who claim to be part of the same group act poorly, should always complain and speak out against it.

    What Muslims advocate peace and anti terrorism and then commit terrorism? Is your brain not complicated enough to separate the two?

    Muslim extremists and the extreme fringes of politics in the U.S. have something in common - they believe that if they're offended then they're automatically right.

    How many times have you heard something that translates to "I am offended! Therefore I am justified!"?

    In some muslim countries, I'd imagine that if people were maligning the only thing you had to pin your sense of identity, or a sense of superiority, on that you'd find it absolutely worth killing over. You have to be an idiot to be a fanatic in the first place. If an idiot becomes a fanatic over something that promises him rewards, and gives him a sense of his religion's (or his nation's) superiority (because he can't claim it based on his own merits), that somehow recompenses him for having a terrible life, then that man will be more than willing to kill and/or die to maintain that sense of superiority - simply because he has nothing else worth fighting for. Absolute faith in a cause/religion/nation becomes a substitute for one's lack of faith in everything else, including one's self.

    "There are similarities between absolute power and absolute faith: a demand for absolute obedience, a readiness to attempt the impossible, a bias for simple solutions, to cut the knot rather than unravel it, the viewing of compromise as surrender. Both absolute power and absolute faith are instruments of dehumanization. Hence, absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power."

    So the millions of Muslims in the US are psychopaths? If you know anything about trends, Muslims in the U.S are generally more educated and have professorial jobs with a steady income while Muslims in the middle east are poor, uneducated etc.... I guess that could be the reason that Muslims in the middle east are more irrational?

    You don't think Muslim countries have a tendency to be more violent than non-Muslim countries?

    It's not a matter of being offended or not. If I saw a video that was making fun of Jesus and calling him a pedophile I may get upset or offended, but wouldn't go murder a Muslim Ambassador! That film was obscure from some random church.

    The people in power in many Muslim countries have a tendency to be more violent than the people in power in non-Muslim countries, imo.

    Agreed. And anyone who's done that should be brought to justice ASAP. The fact still remains that almost all Muslims don't do that, and only a very small percentage have done that.

    That isn't really true. The most violent countries are in central america, south america, and Africa. Islam is not big in those countries. Heck the US has a higher murder rate than Egypt.

    We have one of the highest incarceration rate in the world.

    When was the last time you saw hundreds/thousands Americans drag someone out in the street, rape (?) and murder them? The OWS riots are the closest thing I can think of.

    Completely agree. Disgusts me that people are trying to make excuses or act like this isn't a big deal. Yes, people get offended all the time but radical muslims have done many more disgusting terrorist acts then many other creeds, and need to be brought to justice.

    This isn't relevant. Crime rates aren't really relevant to religious terrorist attacks out of being offended.

    It's relevant to the claim he was addressing (that Muslim countries are more violent than non-Muslim countries).

    I think that is true.

    Do you believe it is because of Islam as a religion or because of socioeconomic issues?

    Muslims simply cannot be trusted. And it's not just the poor and uneducated. OBL and Ata were neither. Major Hasan was not. You also had the doctor's plot in Britain years ago.Finally, we have all the green on blue violence in Afghanistan. The pattern is clear - trusting Muslims is courting disaster.
