...Obama told parishioners at a mosque outside Baltimore that he'd heard from young Muslims worried they'll be rounded up and kicked out of the country. He said Muslims, too, are concerned about the threat of terrorism but are too often blamed as a group "for the violent acts of the very few."

This sort of treatment is alright only for law abiding American gun owners.

Per capita, if one compares muslims to white Americans, they are extremely violent in terms of terrorism.

The fact that 99.999% of terrorist acts are committed by Muslims might have something to do with our distrust of Muslims.

Hell yeah it’s distorted. People think Islam is a religion, rather than the supremacist, totalitarian, murderous ideology that iy actually is.

And standing there with him while he spoke about tolerance was the mosques Imam, who says that homosexuals are to be despised and rejected simply for BEING gay. Tolerance, anyone?

He is absolutely right about this. Far too many people believe them to be harmless.

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam

John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

Are these two of the young scamps you personally heard from who expressed concern they might get kicked out of the country?

"for the violent acts of the very few."

Wrong again bammy, or simply lying/distorting again bammy.

Your "very few" is a lie. There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. Even if you believe "only" 1% are violent or support violence then sure "99% good" sounds good. But that 1% represents 16 million people committing acts of violence or supporting acts of violence.

Put that in perspective. We have just under 1.4 million people in the active military branches, and a little under 900k more in various reserves. That's less than 2.3 million people in our military total.

Forget the 1% BS. Look at ISIS alone. The smallest estimate of their strength is a little over 50,000 fighters. The largest is actually just over 250,000 fighters worldwide. That's not "a few" in anyone's book. That doesn't even begin to add in all the other various violent Muslim groups like al-qada, boko harem, hamas, hezbolah, etc. etc.

Muslims, far more than any other group be it religiously affiliated or whatever, turn to violence to resolve their issues, enforce their desires, or just because they are evil.

No bammy, my view of Muslims is not distorted. I see them for exactly what they are. It is your view, or the view you and so many others are trying to force on the American people, that is distorted. Funny, the Muslims have a name for that deception too, and you're participating, like a good little Muslim yourself there bammy.

Yes, people keep saying it is a Religion of Peace for some reason.
