Good Lord! How does Salon merit any journalistic credibility by citing an unsourced “statistic” to criticize “demagoguery” on the right unless they’re depending on the demagoguery of the left?

It's just a coincidence the slaughter came on the Muslim day of worship./S

BTW speaking of double standards: A university president is held responsible when some psychopath smears poop on a bathroom wall. Muslims routinely chant death to America and commit violent acts after Friday prayers yet Islam has nothing to terrorism.

The statistics are skewed by the large number of smallish separatist incidents in Spain and France. Moreover, some violent acts may not be considered “terrorist.” “Religiously motivated” is also a slippery category. It all depends on how you define your terms.

You know that anything written by 'Salon' is utter garbage, right?

Liberals are way past deluded and well into full-on, dangerously insane

This clown would recognize “actual evidence” if it hit him in the face.

These are the same Salon a-holes that after a white guy goes on a shooting spree blames ALL gun owners and blames ALL white Christians

Muslims celebrate Paris terrorism on live TV

The attack in Paris counts as one incident by oppressed muslims.

Extreme right wing ethno-nationalists have committed thousands of property crimes, by plastering their illegal and offensive flyers on public property.

Ethno-nationalists (horrible racists really) have committed over one million inexcusable criminal micro-aggressions over the same period.

The number of Islamist faux pas is dwarfed by the much more serious and overwhelmingly more numerous attacks by the politically subversive right wing. They must be silenced and rooted out, by any means necessary. If Islamists can help with that, great. </sarcasm off>.

Salon liberals like this idiot are as much a danger to this country as Islamo-fascists. They weaken the constitution and our security.

And there's actually very little you can say to change their minds. It's like talking to one of those goofs who is just determined to buy a cute little baby alligator to play with in the bathtub.

You just can't convince him that some day, and maybe sooner than you think...

This author has nothing important to say and should be ignored.

Remind me why we are quoting him?

When we see what is happening across the Land, makes one wonder if their are enough sane left to care or raise a arm to stop them. God Please have mercy some of us care.

I call it Reality Detachment Disorder. When Borat Obama can stand up in front of an American audience and declare that he has ISIS "contained," all the while importing tens of thousands of jihadis onto American soil and their bloodthirsty brethren infest all of Europe, he obviously suffers from a full-blown mental illness.

There's no sense arguing or talking with such people. Their reality is whatever they want to make it that minute.

Muslims are responsible for many heinous acts around the world. In the USA and Europe they are enabled by liberal -A-holes like the author.

I wonder if you might actually be on to something there. Perhaps the islamists chose Friday because they knew all "true" muslims would be at their mosque, and thus out of the line of fire.

WTF? This guy is in hard core absolute denial. Islam IS the problem, because its not just a religion, its a way of life, its a culture, its a mind virus. It leads to societies that breed evil that we see on display here, at a rate 100x higher than any other. To suggest otherwise is abject stupidity.
