  • It's a called metaphor. He's saying that some are harmless and some are toxic and we don't know which is which. I really just can't see what the big deal is. Are you seeing racism in everything again?

  • Old School - It is ridiculous to consider all terrorist incidents equal. Virtually all the events of significant magnitude are Islamic. To claim that there several hundred terrorist events per year in the E.U. is false. They are obviously exaggerating relatively minor criminal incidents to the status of terrorism to dilute the number of Islamic attacks. They have also included events as far back as 1980 which is not relevant to the current geopolitical situation.

    If you looked at the correlation between the number of casualties and terrorist ideology, the message would be very clear. If you also factored in the relatively small size of the Muslim population in the E.U. and U.S. it would be even clearer. It's obvious that a disproportionate amount of terror is coming from that coming from the Muslim population.

    Bigotry is the unfair refusal to accept people. If it's reasonable, it's not bigotry. The truth is you never consider it reasonable to reject a group. Statistics are irrelevant really. You would advocate collectivism whatever the data said because it's part of your ideology.

  • Rpf1918 - False. Our "bads", and the "bads" in other populations, are less of a threat than the "bads" in Islamic populations because they are not motivated to kill on mass. They only engage in relatively pretty criminal acts. Other "bads" don't organize against us. They are just isolated rotten apples.
