Give them enough time and they'll warp back nearly a thousand years and bring up the Crusades.
What the hell difference does that make? If the RW is really concerned about Americans being killed, there is a lot more good they could do than stir up hate toward some religious group that in the big picture causes few deaths in the US.
I dont really care what you call the president. Or anyone else for that matter. Why would I care?
Why do you feel such sympathy for Islamic extremists?
No one has raised that argument here.
Is it worth keeping tabs on? Absolutely. But then some of the posts I've seen on "Real Conservative" Facebook page say to round up Muslims and either deport them or kill them. Sorry, that's a little too far for my tastes.

You interested in comparing the number of violent muslim attacks in this country to the number attacks by Christians? Jews? Whites? Blacks? Males? Females? People over 5 ft tall? People with blonde hair? People with tattoos? People who consider themselves independents?
We have enough crime in this country, and a great variety of people commiting those crimes, that you can pick almost any factor you want. Deosn't matter what it is. And you will find people committing crimes, attacks ect who meet that criteria.
A hatchet-swinging psycho with Islamic militant leanings turned a busy Queens street corner into a scene of bloody chaos Thursday, chopping a rookie cop in the back of the head and slicing a second officer on the arm before two other officers shot him dead.
In opening fire on the madman, cops accidentally wounded a bystander, *authorities said.
Officer Kenneth Healey, 25, had just four months on the job when Zale Thompson, 32, of Queens — a “scholarly” but “weird” *recent convert to Islam — fractured the back of the cop’s skull with one swing of a blue-handled hatchet at about 2 p.m. in Jamaica.

Why arent you worried about things proportional to their actual threat? How many people have been killed in gun crimes in the last few years, are you thousands of times more worried about that than ISIS?
you bet. Let's compare the violent attacks by anyone motivated by their extremist fundamentalist ideology.
It DOES matter.
The outrage isn't proportional because any time violent crimes in America are discussed liberals trip over themselves to excuse and justify the perpetrators of the violent criminal acts. Liberals won't address who is committing the vast majority of criminal acts. I'm glad to see you are willing to buck that trend and call it out regardless of the skin tone of those committing the vast majority of those violent crimes. Ready to build more prisons?OK, you guys are right, I can go with that. how many deaths were caused in US by any sort of Muslim vs Gun crime and why isnt the outrage proportional?
Just the radical ones.There are a lot of people and groups in this world, and in this country that encourage attacking people. Its amazing how quickly you people buy into this ****. Time and time again. Be afraid. Be very afraid. The muslims are coming. BOO!
Just the radical ones.
And from those that are not...

Bias confirmation p!us internet is a dandy of a thing. People generally get what it is they are looking for.

the challenge is not finding murderers committing acts that happen to have blue eyes and blonde hair but BECAUSE they have blue eyes and blonde hair. Or more specifically...BECAUSE they are fundamentalist Muslims or BECAUSE as you were quick to try to divert to...they are Christian.Ok lets compare. You post deaths in the United States caused by Muslims and I'll post deaths caused by any other group I have listed. You choose which one I'll do.
I am curious as to who you are saying commits the majority of criminal acts?
Why do people make it a bigger deal when it is a muslim attack on someone as opposed to someone else? Crime is crime.
Why do you feel such sympathy for Islamic extremists?
That might make sense if 90% of the worlds muslims were out committing acts of violence in the United States ( or anywhere). But I assume you realize that ISIS/muslim extremists make up a very small portion of the muslims in the world right? I would also assume that you are aware that the majority of ISIS/muslim extremists are not in the US? Furthermore the people who I have heard of that have committed acts in the name of these people in the US (just like this guy) were not muslims or members of ISIS or anything for very long. These guys were mentally unstable prior to that.
Not that I'm aware of.is there a level of murder that isnt considered radical?

But I'm talking ideologically radical here.
There are ideologies out there that support and encourage acts such as this one, and some of those ideologies are radical Islamic ideologies.
One of these appears to possibly be involved in this case.
Yes, there are lots of mentally unstable people in this world - some of them congregate as Muslim extremists. Identifying and admitting such no more paints all Muslims as murderous extremists than pointing out a black person or a white person is the suspect in a crime paints all black people or white people as criminals. Blindly avoiding the obvious simply paints you as blind.
Perhaps there would be more outrage if it were a Catholic or Baptist that did the axing. :shrug:
