Islam in Europe: perception and reality

[Heat]

I'm confused as to what you're arguing.

It was in reply to the concept of "broad-brushing" which can be done.  If 3-4% of a population are 11th century assholes who want to cut off hands for theft or stone women for adultery then suggesting that the rest of the group are 11th century assholes would be unsuportable.  But when 50-60% of a group express those attitudes then it is time to start looking for root causes.

In the case of islam it is not hard.

Isnt that like saying "if 40% of people want to kill the other 60% then thats not okay, but if 60% want to kill the other 40% then we should come in and kill 100%."

Obviously im exaggerating but still, it seems as though you're implying that if a majority percentage of a group of people commit a crime; that means we should prosecute the remaining percentage for the same crime, as if they had committed the crime, even though they didnt commit it, solely because they are in the minority.
