No, but we're also not constantly hating on them, talking about imprisoning them, harassing them, banning them, putting them in "communities" tattooing them, spitting on them or kicking them out of the country either. You add that shit to the mix and they might.

No religion is a religion of peace.

Why would you think followers of islam would react in such anger to a similar description of the problems at the fringes of their religion?

Because the first is true and the second is not.

It is, however, the stated goal of Islamist terrorists to kill Americans whenever and wherever possible. THEY call it Jihad.

Another brainless shriek from whell. It is not a central tenet if Islam to kill Americans. Like shooting up Planned Parenthood clinics or blowing up an Olympics celebration, it is a perversion of religious doctrine.

Let's look at this equation:

islamic terrorists + gun = dead people

If we remove the islamic terrorist, we are left with just gun. There's no problem left to solve.
Let's take another example:

christian terrorist + gun = dead people

This one is similar. If we remove the christian terrorist, we are left with just gun. There's no problem left to solve.


Now let's try solving the equation a different way:

islamic terrorist + gun = dead people

If we remove the gun, we are left with the islamic terrorist. This doesn't seem like as tidy of a solution, as the islamic terrorist wants to have problems for us to solve, so he will replace the gun with another variable- bomb or machete or airplane full of people. Anything he puts in that "gun" position and the equation gives the same result, dead people.

Either way your statement is clearly counter-factual and willfully ignorant.

I think you're failing to read what I wrote and simultaneously misjudging my demeanor. I'm very relaxed, drinking my tea and monitoring my network. It's also very clear if you read more than one sentence that I'm talking about Obama quotes.
If my statement is clearly counter-factual and ignorant, you should be able to clearly explain how so. Perhaps you could find a quote where Obama says something critical of islam.

Sorry, correction is in order. It is not a central tenet of Islam to kill Americans. It IS a central tenet of Islamic terrorists - about whom I was posting - to kill Americans.

Then it follows that you must be aware of some statements of the President's which are critical of religion and of Christianity. Care to share them with us?
