What is the evidence that you have to suggest that I'm wrong?
But yeah, you've still failed to back up your new claim that it's in the region of 60 to 98% of violence that's committed by Muslims. So yeah, my original point still stands.
I want numbers. I want studies. When I have that maybe, just maybe I'll start to believe you. But for now, you haven't come to the table with your claims in this thread.
I'm sorry if that upsets you, but what you're saying in this thread stinks of bigotry and lack of understanding of world affairs. Fair enough. It's easy to find a scapegoat, but most of us just aren't stupid enough to buy into it.
Nope, that link isn't doing it either. In fact I see many stories not related to Islam. Even so, you seem to have been restricted by your definition of violence. I've noted that you've only provided sources related to terrorism. Are there not other evil violent acts that aren't terrorist acts? I think you need to work on defining your terms a little more.
I find it ironic that you use the same arguments creationists use when debating them: "Show me the evidence that proves I am wrong." - The same counter-argument applies here. I'm not making the radical claim. I'm denouncing your claim based on what you have provided. Sorry buddy, but you still have that burden of providing evidence and sources. Not being an asshole about it, but that's just the way things work. But, if you're absolutely insistent on me giving you something, then by all means insist and I'll probably oblige.
