    No we don't. We treat them as people that voluntarily belong to a religion that preaches and encourages violence against the innocent.

    No it's not. It still requires more energy to split it than you get from it. If you're going to split it with electricity you might as well just put that electricity into a battery instead.

    People often make the mistake of assuming that the old monopolies were created by evilness and killing. Really when you look at it, every one of them made huge advance in technology and innovation. They did it by being better than the competition.

    These days it's much more lucrative to be green, or pretend to be green, because that's what gives you access to endless supplies of smugness, taxpayer subsidies, deductions, and grants.

    Mohammad was a warlord who led an army that raped, pillaged, and murdered those who would not follow. There is nothing ambiguous about that.

    Most international Islamic terrorists are middle class, if not from wealthy families. They are college educated. The problem is that they have been indoctrinated much like you want all people to be.

    Do you always reply to a substantiated rebuttal with nonsense?

    You substantiated nothing. It's interesting that Muslims make up 0.9% of the US population but according to your first link, they are responsible for 6% of the terrorism in America. And this data only goes from 1980 through 2005. I'm sure if you looked at the number of deaths caused by Islamic terrorism in America, rather than the number of incidents, They would probably be above 50%. Thanks for proving my point. Your second link is left-wing drivel, and has been ignored. And your third link barely rises above the level of clickbait. There is no information on criteria or methodology, and it just refers to huffingtonpost for most of it's links.

    Islam is not an ethnicity, fool. That's as stupid as calling anti-christian people like yourself racist. It's not a stereotype. It's reality. Muslims are responsible for the vast majority of terrorism in the world today. There aren't billions of Muslims in the world. There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. And if 20% of them are radicalized, that equates to 212 million people. That's not a number that can be ignored, nor should it be.

    That's great, but the PLO covenant was altered in 1998, to state that Israel had a right to exist, and it removed the sections calling for armed struggle against Israel and language referring to them as fascist aggressors. Hamas and the PIJ, on the other hand are more religious, and they have been responsible for most of the attacks since. But considering that 99% of Palestinians are Muslim, it cannot be ignored and should be linked with their willingness to engage in terrorism. Regardless if Islam is the motivating factor, the claim is that Islam is not a peaceful religion. Adherents to Islam are responsible for the vast majority of deaths by terrorism in the world today. To a significant portion of Muslims, killing the innocent to achieve political or religious gaols is perfectly acceptable and is often cheered and rewarded. Trying to equate Christian terrorism to Islamic terrorism doesn't work. Muslims kill orders of magnitude more people than Christian terrorists. But again you are trying to limit the discussion to terrorism, when I originally made the claim that Islam is not a religion of peace. What percentage of Muslims think that capital punishment is appropriate punishment for Apostasy or Blasphemy? Even if it's only 5% (it's much higher than that) that represents 80 million people worldwide. You can say it's only a small minority, but a small minority (it's actually a sizable minority) of 1.6 billion people is a lot of people.

    I don't understand how you can state those facts and then come to your conclusion. How many attacks on Israeli's are perpetrated by Palestinian Christians, or more broadly by Arab Christians? Christians make up about 2% of the Palestinian population. Are they responsible for 2% of the attacks on Israelis? No.

    Sure, but those are the Muslims you know. How many Muslims worldwide do you think support capital punishment for apostasy or blasphemy? The answer is at least hundreds of millions. How many catholic priests are pedophiles? Several hundred? How many Muslim girls have been forced into marriage as children? Your attempt at comparison fails miserably.
