Sudden Jihad Syndrome

However, there is a story behind all of those pictures, and you can't know them just from looking at the pictures, and these pictures do not represent the behavior of each and every of the world's billions of Muslims. There are both political and psychological factors at play which leads to the dominance of that particular viewpoint of Islam on such matters.

The thing is that you believe that corporate media reported events of violence of the past decade are representative of Islam, but if you were to actually look in through accepted methods of research, you will find out how the house of cards were built by the media and politicians and the self-proclaimed sham artists milking the current Anti-Muslim climate for making their own book deals, TV interviews, and honorariums. Instead of the hate sites and the hate books, you should read things which are from peer reviewed and academic sources and not from the so called ex-Muslims who are now on the speaking circuit funded by ultra right wing Christians and politicians. But, research requires effort. You cannot achieve this just by going to google images.

You're either missing the point or denying the truth, and I'm really not sure which it is. I agree that searching Google Images does not constitute research. I never said it did. It is simply a counterpoint rebuttal to your statement that Islamic violence is "minuscule". You'll note that violence in other religions does happen as well and THOSE RELIGIONS may actually be able to make and defend the "minuscule" claim, but than again, you'll notice that if you type "peaceful christianity" into Google Images you don't get an onslaught of brutally graphic, violent pictures. Are you starting to see my point???? I am only contesting your claim that violence in Islam is minuscule, not your theory that there's a worldwide conspiracy to slander Islam. Both are laughable, but the former is just an obviously biased view, and it's very likely that the only thing that IS actually minuscule is the amount of stories attached to those pictures that are actually fabrications to make Islam look bad.

In fact ... show me even one Islamic country that has never had Islamic endorsed violence and I'll concede the point immediately. That shouldn't be hard - since Muslim violence is "minuscule".
