If I were to venture a guess, upper 90's. Some may disapprove of the tactic but not the result as this was avenging a blaspheme in their eyes. Publicly though, we will hear a lot of propaganda about how peaceful Islam is.

I must admit I'm not sure how to criticize you opinions and attitudes without your feeling lectured, scolded, or chastised. Will try to be a tad nicer perhaps, but can't really be responsible for your feelings. Please accept apologies in advance for future offenses.

I mean, I didn't call you a terrorist before, my phrase was 'closer to Isis-think than you should wish.' So you were just said to be some undefined amount too close. I'm not sure how much more delicately I could put it, and still make the point at all.

As long as we're pulling numbers out of somewhere, depending on who asks, and how, might be as low as 14%. Perhaps? Just a guess....

I don't hate Muslims, as Carrie Fisher once remarked hating someone is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

I do find them in many instances to be a threat to my lifestyle and well being and will treat them as I would any threat. ISIL is little different than the Ebola outbreak and needs eradication. Since we are told that they murder anyone who will not join them we might assume there are no 'innocents' left in their territory (apart from the Christian women they have allocated to their fighters, even the pre-pubescent ones and death to them might be welcome) call out the big bombers and flatten their towns. When you have an infestation of vermin you call the Orkin man.

A post that says you don't hate, and then proceeds to identify all the people in a territory as "vermin," creates a contradiction in my mind....

Three more innocent victims at a Paris supermarket courtesy of these deranged perversions of Islam. One is still at large.
