I am really sick of the straw man that is so frequently vomited out by regressives, that I have decided to end it once and for all, at least on AF."Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible." - http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/ja...or-attacks
However, if you do find the quote I am looking for, then I will change my mind. It is now your turn to give your straw man a brain, or knock it down.
Thanks!
President Obama is instigating a war on the United States, according to longtime conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly. But the president hasn’t dropped a bomb or fired a shot; rather, he has opened the country to tens of millions of immigrants and refugees from all over the world, including from Muslim countries that hate America.
“It is waging war on America,” Schlafly told WND. “Muslims would like to take over the world and establish their caliphate, and Obama has let so many Muslims in. I don’t think he should let any Muslims in this country. There’s no reason why they should come in.”

That was easy.

Who in particular are you saying doesn't claim "all Muslims are terrorists or most Muslims are terrorists?" Who? You can't honestly be saying no one anywhere implies most, if not all, Muslims are Islamist terrorists or Islamist terrorists sympathizers You can't be honestly saying there are not fear mongers in Western media that strongly imply Muslims in the West are Islamists and sympathizers to Islamist? So obviously that's not what you're saying because that's moronic.
I made this thread to show that there are not "Islamophobes saying that ALL muslims are terrorists" and so far I have been correct.
I ask because you're patting yourself on the back for moot points. No one cares about moot points, Shuffle. No one cares. Most liberals don't deny radical Islam is dangerous. At most liberals deny radical Islam is the only form of Islam or deny it is the True Islam. So you're attacking a strawman. I don't think Islam or any religion for that matter is true, so I don't care. If liberals use a liberal interpretation of religious texts, ex: hand waving away the bad bits by saying, "those parts are the words of fallible men and not God" or "I'm a Christian, or Muslim, or whatever in the same way someone can be a Kantian without agreeing with Kant on everything." I just don't care. If the liberal interpretation keeps people from cutting my head off, then good.
