More individual instances of people getting on the wrong wide of bikers has happened in that time than Muslim's committing acts of terrorism.
this is a great example of the bias in the OP. Just from a different perspective

Just curious, where do you get your data from? If you're going on sheer numbers, there are probably more muslims than hardcore bikers in the USA
Sure, there are more Muslims than hardcore bikers in the US.
However, the FBI estimates there are about 44k outlaw bikers on the low end. They are considered to be crime syndicates by law enforcement.
There are 3.3 million Muslims in the US. They have not released how many US Muslims are on the watch list but its in the thousands.

That really doesn't support your point.
My point, you have a bias and are acting on it.

Correct. We're all biased, and the position we will defend depends on our ideology

I'm biased as hell, because I feel safer being around outlaw bikers than outlaw Muslims. This whole defense of Muslims to me is insane. They are like a plague who ruins everything around them.
They have no successful Muslim community over seas, their religion is based off of war and chaos.
Liberals who defend Muslims are the most ignorant, seeing that they literally disagree with you on everything.
The ones who defend them, are the ones they laugh at for their ignorance.
And I'm wasting my time, deaf ears hear what they want. Out.

Their religion is based on the premise of peace. Out of two billion Muslims in the world, a few extremists don't characterize the entire religion any more than the KKK members that call themselves Christian do to Christianity.

There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world and you can't fathom any of them living in successful communities overseas? Come on now.
We shoul all be able to agree that a larger percentage of the Muslim population is dangerous than any other major religion, but let's not try to embed some myth that 100% of them are incapable of living in western socieities. That's the sort of cheap rhetoric that causes liberals to overreact and defend the entire population of them.
You are making the exact same mistake the left is, you're just on the other side of it. And both of your mistakes are reinforcing the other side's belief in their own. Stop dealing in absolutes when you're looking at this humanity on this scale; it's leading your perspective to be just as narrow as those you deride

Well, if I were sitting in a oven and started hearing German dialect then I'd damn sure get nervous. Probably almost as nervous as I would if I heard Arabic on a plane.

You can believe this all you want, but the blanketed side that will be prejudice towards Muslims would be a safer place where there would be no risk of ever riding on a suicide plane. The liberals on the left are enablers that would love to open the gates to this country freely which would then allow terrorism to breed at an alarming rate. On the surface, your statement makes sense but you never seem to look at the reasoning of why it even exists. I don't want Muslims around here simply because of self preservation. I, along with my family and friends are safer if Im not around them, and that is not debatable.

Middle Eastern, speaking in his native tongue, on a phone, on a plane, and ending the conversation with "----allah."
Not everyone who does that is a terrorist, but all terrorist do that, so stop with your holier than thou BS. That doesn't mean you should get kicked off the plane, but stop acting surprised that many people would be moved to report such a series of events.

No, liberals hate the "majority" of any category and go way off the deep end to defend anything "minority" in this country. It's irrational.

Not all blacks living in the ghetto are gangmembers, but would you want to walk 10 blocks down their street at night? What about walking down an alley in NOLA at night?
