It amazes me that nearly 100% of the people on this forum will in a heartbeat say:

"Not all arabs are terrorist, but almost all terrorist acts are performed by arabs...do the math"

Yet the same argument doesn't apply to pit bulls. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are SOME pit bulls, through luck or ALOT of training, that are managable around all people. I'm also sure that SOME dog attacks are from dogs other than pit bulls.

I don't know alot about dogs, breeding, which ones have good or bad dispositions, but I'll tell you one thing. Whenever I see a headline about a child being mauled by a dog, without reading any further, I feel comfortable betting my paycheck that it was a pit-bull. I happen to win this little bet with myself I'd say at least 90% of the time.

I have a friend whose dog was killed by a pit bull. Their dog was a dacshund(sp). He was watching the dog play in the front yard while he was out there with him. The dog was not on a leash, but was well trained and NEVER left their yard. The pit-bull jumped the fence, chased down the dog and killed it while my friend watched. He had to run inside for fear the dog would come after him next. Luckily, his THREE CHILDREN who OFTEN PLAY IN THE FRONT YARD were in school at the time.

I have a 20mo son. My wife is always with him when they play out in the front yard, but I know for a fact she could not fight a full-grown pit-bull off of herself, much less my son. Given that fact, plus the historical trend I described above, I can tell you with absolute certainty that there will never be a pit-bull living in our neighborhood. Read that however you like...

THat's actually ridiculously untrue. First of all, Ayman Al-Zawhiri, the number 2 of al-Qaida, is Egyptian. Then you factor in Iran, which is one of the number one supporters of terrorism in the world, and it is a predominately Persian area. In fact, there are probably as many different non-Arab ethnic groups involved in Islamic Terrorism as there are ARabs.

Okay, now I'll read the rest of your post.

I would have run in my house only to get my gun so as to kill the pit bull if it had killed my dog. Or if it jumped a fence into my yard for that matter.
