No, it is merely pointing out that religion is the problem.Umm, did you read the OP? The thread is religion bashing.

As individuals, Muslims can be and often are truly excellent people. The problem is that when the concentration of Muslims within the population increases, Muslim tolerance and acceptance of that which is not Muslim decreases.
That's right guy, when you can't handle the truth the weak scurry away lick cockroaches when you turn on the kitchen lights.
Maybe you should pay attention to what the hell is going on in the world, all based in imaginary sky daddies and other mythical spooks.
You know Islam used to be the center of world knowledge. During their golden age Muslims advanced science and mathematics at an outstanding rate and made huge discoveries and advancements for all humanity. They were an open society where even the "doubters" (atheists of the day) were welcome.
We can directly trace the end of that golden age to a few assholes who thought it would be a great idea to insert religion into science and math. Islam has not recovered since and remains stuck in the past.
I seem to recall a religious group that has been trying, and continues to, insert religion into science these days. THAT is far more of a threat to us than Islam ever will be.
I work every day with a Muslim. He has an MBA, is a respected colleague, and a family man.
Clearly a threat to the civilized world!
You don't see how what?
So your theory is that when there is more Muslims the normal ones start to morph into terrorists?
There is over 50 Muslim majority countries, which ones are terror states?
I don't think that denying IS being an Islamic group is very helpful though.
I don't see how you can read the thread/poll title as meaning not necessarily all. The title doesn't delineate radical Islam, it says Islam. That suggests that the OP means the religion of Islam and it's followers, not just the radical or extremist followers of Islam.
Fundametalism kills everything.
I would say that Genghis Khan had a lot more to do with their collapse than anything. It is true that you have people saying that math was the language of the Devil, so I'm sure that would not help.
Okay before you guys start getting your panties in a bunch and calling me a bigot, take a moment to read what i am saying.
We can argue endlessly about who is a 'true' Muslim and who isn't.. but that would be useless. Fact of the matter is Muslims around the world are turning to violence and intolerance. You can point out muslims that are peaceful, and i can point out n equal number of Muslims who support the ideology of intolerance and manslaughter with their whole hearts. If that wasn't the case, you wouldn't have British, American, Indian and other countries' Muslim citizens flocking to the middle east to join ISIS.
In the past, deniers often claim that its is not Islam but poverty and lack of proper education that is responsible for people turning to terrorism. Now we have this-

This girl isn't poor by any means, and she sure as hell ain't uneducated. So what gives?
I believe that it is time that the world stops being afraid of being labelled 'racist' and call a spade a spade. Islam as of now is no longer just a religion. It has turned into a violent, dangerous cult. A cult that preaches death upon nonbelievers. Something like this has absolutely no place in the modern society.
Do you believe that people should be wary of muslims and place checks on their ever increasing populations?
One can only imagine how much more advanced our society would be had it not been for various religions (basically mankind not nature) slowing down, or at times completely retarding, scientific advancement.
We lost centuries to the dark ages and untold billions of "minds" to Islams dark age. Look at what the last century has brought us and ponder what the next might bring us and then realize that we should already be well beyond that. We could very well be traveling the stars right now, today, had it not been for the intervention of religion.
THAT is what I fear about religion, not some assholes blowing each other up. Taking a life is one thing but convincing massive parts of the population to stop thinking is far worse and is the very thing that makes them so "controllable".
No, it is merely pointing out that religion is the problem.
you seem to be confused. you do know the difference between race and religion dont you?
1. White terrorists are called “gunmen.” What does that even mean? A person with a gun? Wouldn’t that be, like, everyone in the US? Other terrorists are called, like, “terrorists.”
2. White terrorists are “troubled loners.” Other terrorists are always suspected of being part of a global plot, even when they are obviously troubled loners.
3. Doing a study on the danger of white terrorists at the Department of Homeland Security will get you sidelined by angry white Congressmen. Doing studies on other kinds of terrorists is a guaranteed promotion.
4. The family of a white terrorist is interviewed, weeping as they wonder where he went wrong. The families of other terrorists are almost never interviewed.
5. White terrorists are part of a “fringe.” Other terrorists are apparently mainstream.
6. White terrorists are random events, like tornadoes. Other terrorists are long-running conspiracies.
7. White terrorists are never called “white.” But other terrorists are given ethnic affiliations.
8. Nobody thinks white terrorists are typical of white people. But other terrorists are considered paragons of their societies.
9. White terrorists are alcoholics, addicts or mentally ill. Other terrorists are apparently clean-living and perfectly sane.
10. There is nothing you can do about white terrorists. Gun control won’t stop them. No policy you could make, no government program, could possibly have an impact on them. But hundreds of billions of dollars must be spent on police and on the Department of Defense, and on TSA, which must virtually strip search 60 million people a year, to deal with other terrorists.
One can only imagine how much more advanced our society would be had it not been for various religions (basically mankind not nature) slowing down, or at times completely retarding, scientific advancement.
because it doesn't specifically ask whether we believe all followers are a threat. If any of them are then its fine to state that followers of islam are.
Who postulated the big bang theory?
No, it isn't. It's incorrect and misleading to view all followers of insert religion here as a threat because of the actions and words of a small percentage of that religion.
Well, hur dur dur,.. 10% is not a 'small percentage',... hur dur dur,..
Actually, it's not even a percentage - at all it seems; http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...ed-zakaria-blasts-fuzzy-math-article-1.474956
10% of 1.6 billion is 160,000,000. Do people REALLY believe that there are 160 million Islamic terrorists??
Because if there were, most of us would be all dead by now.
A 160 million army of people out to kill anyone who is not like them, is a large number. And, we would certainly notice something that huge coming in from Mexico,...
A catholic priest.
What's your point?
