My favorite was your evidence that all Muslims are crazy, by citing a presently inflamed, already extreme part of a war torn country that's seen little but death and destruction for the past 30 years.
Why can't these people just pull themselves up by their bootstraps?
And from another perspective American and Russian bombs caused far more death and destruction than any actions taken in the name of Islam the last 30 years.
Instead of focusing on the religion, you should try taking a look at the history and present geopolitical environment that has shaped the modern world.
Most of the Islamic countries we see as higher risk didn't even exist or pretend to self govern until the 1940's. The influence of crumbling Colonization (followed immediately by the Cold War) combined with the abundance of fossil fuels (not to mention strategic geographic locations) on regional policies can't be ignored when trying to understand the situation or possible outcomes.
But you Jimmy just want them to let bygones be bygones and move along already.
Who's going to cut my head off again?
