Is the ''Only a minority of Muslims are radical'' true?

[TheMessiah]

Islam is a global threat, Christianity isn't.

That's not something to laugh about. All religions are not equally violent; Islamic terrorism disproportionately overpowers Christian terrorism.

Europol and FBI statistics sing a different tune. 4 (Europe) and 6 (USA) percent of all terrorist attacks are motivated in any way, shape or form by religion. That's not even exclusively Isam, but all religious motives, Brejvik included. I posted links to the reports in different threads and they are in the public domain. Easy to check.

But of course, they only deal in facts and realities instead of bigoted assumptions and blanket statements about a group.

So yes, if it wasn't fucking disgusting, it would be something to laugh about.

yup, Islam is 500 years behind Christianity. The problem I have with the Jewish religion and Islam religion is that they are Jewish and Muslim first. Not regular people first, not my neighbor , but "My Religion's people" first.

I was laughing that you think Islam is a global threat. The Islamic State couldn't reach the Iberia Peninsula without being shot on sight. This is merely a narrative to shift people's attention from the actual threat, that is way in front of you and has been for decades

It is most certainly a global threat; that's why Islamic terrorism dominates America's foreign policy right now. His foreign policy is dominated by his inability to beat ISIS, it's also why China, a communist country is going to extreme lengths to get Muslims out of their country, and not allow any religious influx.

Where is the invasion then? Do they have means to invade the west?

Saying terrorism, especially from the likes of ISIS or Al-Queada is not motivated by religion is willful ignorance. It is wishful thinking to think Islamic terrorism is not motivated by religion; especially considering they justify their violence with verses of the Qu'ran and attempt to enforce their Sharia on other people. Most ISIS recruits from the West were university educated.

Hell, the most infamous Islamic terrorist was a millionaire; major terrorist groups have sourcing from the elite Muslims. Saudi Arabia has been long-known for funding terrorism. So has Pakistan.

You, like many others who love to use the term ''Islamophobe'' struggle to separate criticism of the Islamic doctrine from bigotry towards Muslims as people. I don't hate Muslims, but I do hate their ''holy'' book.

So the evidence that ''poverty drives terrorism'' despite the fact that the bulk of terrorist groups are made up of middle to upper class privileged Muslims in addition to the funding they get from rich Muslims really destroys this laughable meme of ''poverty drives terrorism''.

Poverty doesn't drive terrorism, Islam drives terrorism. The ideology and belief-set in Islam is a key drive; the promise of Matyrdom in Islam is especially dangerous. There are Muslims, privileged ones who truly believe that killing people for their ''holy'' book will lead them to an eternal paradise; you may laugh at the idea, but people truly believe this nonsense --- and it's why Islam is especially more dangerous than other Abrahamic faiths.
