2.2 billion are Christians

1.6 billion are Muslims

3.1 are of some other regions


Of the 1.6 billion Muslims, there are only around 100k that have some extreme or radical view that want to keel anyone....

That's barely half a percent of the total Muslim population.


Let's stick to what Donald says and just call them evil losers. Then you get a solid 0% of terrorism from Muslims.

By the way Muslims will out number Christians by 2050. And yes, in the US too.

All that to say your statement is baseless.

I heard reports that Ariana Grande is offering to pay the funeral expenses for those killed at her concert.. nice gesture.. better than Pete Townshend's, after 11 people were trampled to death before a Who concert, in December, 1979.. all he and the other band members did was send "flowers to the fucking funerals"..

Very loving gesture. I hope the young lady does not feel guilty though. I hope the families don't blame her. Mad men are to blame here.

The Koran and the Christian bible are filled with verses that can be interpreted and twisted to justify violence.

Yep...more violence in baby jesus' name that Ala in the US.

99.95% of Muslims are good normal decent folk who do not interpret their holy book in that way.

I've read lots of the koran and the Christian bible cover to cover.

It's easy to say Muslims are inherently violent. That doesn't make it true.

Source?

I have a hard time believing that. The CIA reported that we have killed over 10K ISIS solders in the last 9 months In Syria & Iraq alone.

Also Pew Research polls. You'll need to Google those. I don't have them handy.

Fox, a "fair and balanced" news source disputed Trumps number and gave 100k as an approximation given by experts.

A lot of good in those books too. Can't highlight one and pretend the other doesn't exist. I mean, you can, but not if you want to be taken seriously.

I am not aware of any recent Christian terrorism that approaches the current scale of Islamic terrorism in the world today. The Crusades ended in the sixteenth century.

So why are so many of these attacks in Europe instead of America? Originally Posted by goodolboy

Dear God.....I just wish Nancy Pelosi or Maxine Waters could be potus for, hmmmm maybe 4 to 6 months...yeah, that would just about do it, right? That would be plenty long enuff to napalm the Dims for the next decade or two. Talk about "scary".....

Hey.....anyone catch Pelosi's recent vow of taking back the house (next year) and passing a $15 min wage in their first 100 hours....... godawmighty, how does this woman keep her seat....? Can you say "shortened hours....layoffs....automation ...."? hahaha.....

But Planned Parenthood in 2015, The Centennial Olympic Park bombing (this guy also carried out other attacks on a lesbian nightclub and an abortion clinic), Phineas Priests and the Army of God...crazy. Christians think they're better because their crazies don't cray like Muslims' do. But the common denominator in all of the above is the belief in a god.
