I think you meant to say it attacks it's own far far more than anyone.

Beheading videos are a dime a dozen when it comes to Muslim victims.
It's a cult and it's spread across the globe is a plague... the clowns who harp on about global warming, yet defend this sick, perverted, so called religion, have their heads so far up their arse it's beyond comprehension.
Apart from your vivid imagination there is no link between the conspiracy theorists who harp on about global warming and people who defend innocent others. You and other right wing nutters don't have a monopoly on feeling for and being horrified by the wholesale murder of others by Islamic terrorists.

As has been pointed out endelessly Islamic fundamentalists kill way more Muslims than others. Muslims are being terrorised.

Don't get me wrong I do see a whole lot wrong with aspects of Islam when it's combined with tribalism, ethnicity, gender, culture and nationalism. Angry violent men are angry violent men. Angry men who are promised 72 virgins, the promised land and an ability to serve a greater good in their distorted view have no qualms about murdering innocent others when it ties in power to avenge their perceived powerlessness.

Your mate Trump is getting out of Syria which means more Muslims (Turks mostly and others) will murder the the brave Kurds in the North under the guise of anti terrorism Besdies the stupid comments from Trump that Syria is only about sand and heat the north is also about oil) Still facts wrre nevef an issue for Trump or for you it seems at times. (That is, that most Muslims fear ISIS most of the time as do westerners).

Of course, if this were a US Christian leader talking about bringing America back to Jesus (as many of them do) and using education for those purposes, I'm sure you would be equally concerned.

If they were 'invading' countries, bleeding the welfare system, committing violent and sexual assaults, and carrying out acts of terrorism.... I'm sure I would be. Even if they were Hindu or Buddhists, I'm sure I would be too.

Someone once said make love not war.

I say failing that watch lots and lots of porn.

The Muslim world needs more porn I tells ya!

Now, if I can only get the Palestinians and Jews to appreciate how delicious pork crackling can be I might be able solve that conflict to.

Lack of pork in the middle east is the problem people.

Agreed. Deport him.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
