The game seems to be 'Move the Goalposts'. I con't care to play that one.
I was making a point that 99% of the list is filled with muslims...
And I knew that there was at least 1 on the list... I was being facetious by exaggerating how they are definitely the minority.

What I'm saying is that the history of the region, particularly in the last eighty years, more than accounts for the extremism and instability found there. I have no idea why you think your comment is relevant to that.
Weeeeel, that is not completely true. The Quran tells you to kill, the Bible does not.

I wonder under what theory moderate muslims have more of a duty to speak out against muslim extremists than non-muslims do? It seems little more than a guilt by association argument, fueled by emotional rhetoric.

Do you know exactly how many abortion doctors have been killed? 7. 7. In ALLLLLLLL of history, 7 have been killed. Yup, you are right. That IS a big problem.
School shootings are not listed as terrorism, because they are almost never done because of religious or political movements. Try again.
So, after all that being said, I do not see any correlation between Islam and race. I think that if I had started out naming five, you would want ten, because you can pick any arbitrary number as the number you find acceptable.
I didn't claim it was a big problem. I claimed that we react to these events differently when the people who are responsible resemble the majority.
Try engaging the actual statement instead of throwing out a red herring.
Most Muslims are Asian, African, or Middle Eastern. Muslims of European heritage are distinctly a minority within Islam at the present time.
I promise I won't. If I do, then you can say that I was moving the goalposts. OK?
People don't react the same because it isn't a problem.
Ok, so your original statement was that people don't react the same... right? My response to that are two words: Sandy Hook.
So? That was not my point. You said that my criticisms of Islam are racist, to which I responded "Islam is not a race." To which you responded... actually I am not sure how you responded. Something like "Well, other people do bad things!" And then I said those things aren't that bad. And then you listed races. I am not sure what listing races have to with this.

And no, there is not Sufi terrorism spreading across the country because muslims make up 0.2% of America's population. Why would they be a problem? Sorry, I couldn't even tell there was something to dodge because I didn't say anything about Christian terrorism in the USA being rampant.
Do you actually want to know something that is relevant to what I said?
You said Christian terrorism was a problem. And then you were confused why Sufis weren't a problem here. And then I pointed out that there are no Muslims in America, therefore there is almost no Muslim terrorism in America. And then you dodged my 0.2% statistic.

Hypocritical? How? Obviously I think the Bible is all nonsense, but if you are going to quote it you better quote it right.
