Listen, you and I both know you havent read the Quran and its clear based on your dismissal of one of the events I listed that you haven't opened a history book either. You don't read Islam, you live it. Something you nor I has done...
To be clear, the Inquisition was a Christian decree to exterminate Jews and Muslims. History hasn't forgot and as it works out neither have the Muslims.
To pretend that you or I completely understand Islam is absurd. The violent acts of radicals is irrational and a rational minded person will never understand it or explain it. The very act is irrational meaning it's beyond explanation. I accepted this years ago.
Perhaps it's you that doesn't "get it". Your statements are the very defintion of a Black Swan and a feeble attempt minimize and rationalize whats beyond simple explanation. There are millions of nonviolent Muslims but based on your assessment they are all active terrorsists plotting our extinction. They've had a millennia, what are they waiting on and why do it a few people at a time?

Government has killed more than religion. I don't worry about Islam, I worry about something that really affects me.

Because the alternative is anarchy and most would agree that just won't work...

I'm just glad I live in a country where most citizens wouldn't sit there and let this crap happen.
What's so disturbing about the video with his bloody hands is that everyone is sitting around in disbelief. I am glad I don't live in a country of sheeple.
The sheep pretends evil doesn't exist, while the wolf causes it. The sheepdog sits idle ready to protect if needed.

We have our share of sheeple as well

As evident by the current administration.

I should've specified...
I live in a STATE with much fewer sheeple.
But I really like the fact that concealed carriers continue to increase in numbers. That leads me to believe that a lot of American citizens are leaving behind the victim mentality.

I think compared to England you'd find much more fight in the average American.
I'd like to think that a soldier couldn't get beheaded on a street corner in broad daylight with people watching, but ya never know. I don't see how that can happen anywhere on earth.

if i saw it happening, i would most likely think.. "no way this is real.. wtf is this?"
and as soon as see him start whacking away reality would kick in, probably be to late at that point

I can't say that I'd be able to be the first one to mount the charge unless I had a gun or bat or at least some kind of beating utensils.

This is what happens when you take arms from the population. People just find other stuff to harm you with. But in an armed state, chances are these muslims wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes. The police officers even had to wait for the cops with the guns to show up and shoot the perp.

I'd like to think I would have tried something. Even with no gun. Find a stick, brick, or something to throw or hit them with. I don't see casually talking with them after they butchered a soldier in the street.

If definitely be trying to put my hands on something to beat them to death with.
