In an fascinating exercise in selective data use, the Huffington Post has published a remarkable essay suggesting that the vast majority of terrorists have nothing to do with Islam and that Islam itself has nothing to do with encouraging violence.
In his article Monday, "Is Islam Really the Religion of Violence? Here Are the Facts," Saudi-born writer Hanzala Bin Aman tiptoes through an FBI study on terrorism to cull the statistics that seem to justify his thesis that Islamic terrorism only makes up a tiny percentage of all terrorist acts, and therefore shouldn't be singled out as a source of particular concern.
For example, Aman declares that a mere 6% of all terrorist attacks on US soil between 1980 and 2012 were carried out by Muslims. What he fails to mention is that 94% of the deaths due to terrorist acts in the United States during the same period were carried out by Islamic terrorists. The FBI data include a series of amateurish acts of "terror" that claimed no lives and produced very little in the way of terror because of their ineffectiveness, whereas several of the Muslim attacks--notably 9/11--were absolutely devastating.

Perfect description of Islam from our most intelligent president ever.
If cutting off Christians heads and stoning women to death is not violent, then Islam is not violent.
A much better question is this: “Is Islam really a religion?”
Answer: NO, it’s a war plan disguised as a religion.
It is foolish in the extreme to believe there’s any kind or sort of peaceful resolution re: the destructionist left.
The left is knee-jerk treasonous.
It's NOT just the haters in the Southern Poverty Law Center that are liars... Liars are all over the liberal elite landscape.
Hell yes.
Fbomb yes.
Sh*t yes.
Any further questions, HuffPo dolts?
