On these pages and elsewhere, commentators have periodically fed Western prejudices that Muslims are somehow inherently more violent than those of other faiths. They ignore the fact that, both historically and in recent decades, armed forces of the United States and European countries have killed far more Muslims than Muslims have killed Americans and Europeans. They also ignore the fact that virtually all the arms used in predominantly Muslim countries are manufactured in the United States and Europe and are transferred to the region by U.S. and European governments.

United States and European countries have killed far more Muslims than Muslims have killed Americans and Europeans. It wasn't for lack of the Muslims trying, Mr. Zunes.

Another crap article by the dying dinosaur press. Muslims have been horrid neighbors for centuries. The religion of peace is more like the religion of my way or the die way.

Even freakin Ghandi had to segregate away from them. Moslems suck, always have, always will.

...both historically and in recent decades, armed forces of the United States and European countries have killed far more Muslims than Muslims have killed Americans and Europeans... Which is why America and Europe aren't ruled by Muslims just yet.
...all the arms used in predominantly Muslim countries are manufactured in the United States and Europe...
All the EVERYTHING of value used in dungheap Muslim countries is manufactured in the United States and Europe.

It sure wasn’t. Islam is the only religion that teaches that you can murder your way into heaven.

And the 1400+ year history of Muslims vs. everyone else is pretty clear on who subjugates whom, given the chance. Little has changed since Mad Mo’ came out of the desert with his caravan raiders.

Move to a Muslim country from cozy San Francisco and his cushy professorship? Naah.

Here’s a useful post I made recently in another thread, reposted mainly for the links:
There are 1400+ years of history showing that the violent passages of the Koran and Hadith are the ones that are followed by Islamics. And the Crusades were a reaction to Islamic wars of conquest, and were nothing compared to them, as this short fact-filled video shows:

This is from Dr. Bill Warner at PoliticalIslam.com, a worthwhile site.

There IS something in the drinking water in Santa Cruz me thinks. My oldest is almost fifty, and has been there since his college days. Another piece of that evidence.
