That isn't how culture works in the United States of America.
Slightly more accurate, but still wrong. A majority of Muslims in the United States believe that Sharia should be the law of the land.
That's not assimilating to American culture. That's bringing your culture to our shores and demanding that we assimilate to your culture.

Hatred based on religion is wrong. It's wrong on a moral level. You can't really argue morality with facts.
The only thing I've said that could be considered "outlandish" or "untrue" would be the number 20,000 when referring to the number of radicalized Muslims and what I said about the percentage of Christians who would bomb abortion clinics given the chance being close to the percentage of radicalized Muslims.
The 2nd one was a little much. I'll give you that. But the whole 10% of the population, 30% of the population being radicalized like others have claimed is just complete nonsense. 10% of the worlds Muslims makes up over 100 million people. That is absurd to try and say that over 100 million people are radicalized Muslims.

Here on TD, another poster insults another's intelligence whilst using improper grammar.

Kindly point to me where in the New Testament Christ tells his followers that they should accept a cult of death in their midst.
Not all are a member of a "cult of death." I know Muslims who do not advocate the killing of others in the name of their religion, whether it be for being Christian or gay. They're no different than Christians who do not adhere to the Bible's statements on adultery and divorce. Their are many Christians who choose not follow certain aspects of Christianity because they do not agree with it, just as few Muslims that I know choose not follow certain aspects of their religion because they simply don't agree with it.

Is it? You feel that way?

Seriously man. Just say many, or a lot. Don't say a majority. It implies fact. As in over 50%. Which is not true. I would love to see a group of people try and impose their religious laws on an area of this country. The entire group would be arrested and thrown in jail.

I believe we all hate what´s going on, and believe me, many of them do, as well. It makes their lives miserable.
Then why don't they make their own signs and speak up? Why do we have to do it for them? Why do we have to extend the olive branch? shite we could meet halfway but I'm just not seeing the effort from that side
Maybe it's because that would go against their religion? We are infidels after all

Yes. I feel that way. It is very hard for me to believe that a 9 digit number of people want to kill all non Muslims.

Oh wow a survey conveniently came up with 51% in their results. That sounds like they got exactly what they were looking for. Since you work in insurance, I would assume you at least know basic statistics. So you know that this survey is most likely complete horseshite and the people who gave it got the results they wanted to get.

These are called apostates and are marked for death. This thread is hilarious.

Why are you even arguing about the numbers though? The point, in my opinion, is that we shouldn't be assigning a label to every single Muslim simply because they are a Muslim. Whatever percentage are radicals makes no difference. Let's judge people on a personal level and decide who that person is as a person, not slap a terrorist label on them simply because they're Muslim. And I do hate radical terrorist, just as every person should. Just because there are racists that supported Trump doesn't make me one or the next guy. I want people to judge me for who I am personally, not others that may be a member of an extremely large group that I am a member of.

Your sig is hilarious. If your grandma says they are all the same, was that her way of coming on to you?

Overall, the survey, which was conducted by The Polling Company for the Center for Security Policy (CSP), suggests that a substantial number of Muslims living in the United States see the country very differently than does the population overall. The sentiments of the latter were sampled in late May in another CSP-commissioned Polling Company nationwide survey. According to the just-released survey of Muslims, a majority (51%) agreed that “Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to shariah.” When that question was put to the broader U.S. population, the overwhelming majority held that shariah should not displace the U.S. Constitution (86% to 2%). More than half (51%) of U.S. Muslims polled also believe either that they should have the choice of American or shariah courts, or that they should have their own tribunals to apply shariah. Only 39% of those polled said that Muslims in the U.S. should be subject to American courts.

You are right. I shouldn't have thrown out the first number. It lead to more bullshite from those who disagree with me.

I'm not going to say that there is no one that would "mark" these people for death in this country because I have no facts to back that up, but I do know that it is far from common in this country. We're not talking about how it works in other countries. We're talking about how we, as Americans, should treat it.

So you clearly did not study a field that involved statistics at all. That or you just don't understand sampling bias.
