Defense of WHAT hyperbole? I called your comment about whether I know Muslims an irrelevancy. Which it is. However, I answered it.

You ask, “Are the muslims you know good “people” ? The ones i know are and no more tolerant of or inclined to behave like, the jihadis than I am. ”

And yet I already explicitly answered that question. Did you even read my comment? This is what I already wrote:

Actually, I know a number of wonderful Muslims.

So what? Fortunately, the Muslims I know are not fanatical jihadi terrorists, or supporters of them.

I think that “wonderful” pretty much covers “good people.” And the fact that they don’t support fanatical jihadi terrorists and aren’t fanatical jihadi terrorists covers the second sentence in your quote. So what on earth are you saying I said? I said nearly exactly what YOU just said.

I provided links to surveys of Muslims that measure how many ARE supporters of said jihadi fanatical terrorists, however, which is far more relevant. And, if you actually look at those surveys, large percentages of Muslims are pro-terrorist and pro-terrorism. It varies from country to country and year to year, but the numbers tend to run from high teens to the 40s, in terms of percentages. That’s huge, and if it doesn’t catch your attention and concern you, then you’re in willful denial.

It only takes one terrorist to kill a lot of people. In Paris, the attack was apparently committed by about eight, with a few more probably behind the planning. What about this don’t you get? And what about this gets translated into your own hyperbolic statements of “we are all gonna be raped and behaeaded…Chicken Little the sky is fallin!!” as your characterization of what I or anyone else supposedly is saying?

You’re making no sense whatsoever.

Ymarsakar,
first i guess I should ask that in dispensing with rational thought…what thought processes do we use…. seems that the jihadis have done just that….In fact I think any reliance on a supreme being for direction is pretty fucking irrational….but then again Im an aetheist.

For instance in a gun fight…. a REAL life or death situation in real time…. not one sitting in your Lazyboy….do you dispense with rational thought? because it makes you weak? and trust God will magically guide your projectiles….emotionally spray and Pray in the direction of the threat? No I think you rely on your rational training and present as small a target as possible, calmly aim and fire.(Metphorically also the best the approach to daesh) Have I done that ….? no. have I trained to be able to do that ? yes. A rational decision just like the choice to carry.

Neo,
I’m more than a little shocked to see you descend into the defense of such hyperbole….. your statement of “there being a lot of Muslims who are”, is stating the obvious…. for ??? reason?… with roughly 1.2 billion muslim the 15% # guesstimate is obviously a big #….as you say….SO What… also irrelevant in regard to the question that you jumped in to discredit (one of grounding) we are all gonna be raped and behaeaded…Chicken Little the sky is fallin !!

Are the muslims you know good “people” ? The ones i know are and no more tolerant of or inclined to behave like, the jihadis than I am. I used to travel quite a bit in muslim countries and had good and bad experiences with the lowly ignorant masses and the educated wealthy …people are a product of their experiences….or LACK THERE OF.

getting back to the big picture…protecting ourselves has some basic rational steps. Lock the the doors, kill those that would harm us, and learn as much as we can all the time from as many different sources as we can….and sometimes that involves seeing whats happened in other countries and not doing that….Europe comes to mind.

Oh, and don’t rely on a Supreme being.
God helps those that help themselves.

Why do people want to talk to a fast food’s manager instead of the order staff?

Why do people obey the boss instead of obeying you, an employee of the boss?

If a lowly office worker told security to let him “kick all his bosses in the balls”, would the security obey that worker even though the security likes the worker or would the security obey the SWAT team and the CEO of his company?

Humans don’t even understand the society they live in, let alone Islam or the Left. They don’t know themselves, so they are lost.

Actually, I know a number of wonderful Muslims.

So what? Fortunately, the Muslims I know are not fanatical jihadi terrorists, or supporters of them. But you know what?There are a lot of Muslims who are. Way way way too many.

Your comment is an irrelevancy.

Rationalization is what makes you weak, Clayton. But it won’t save you nor your civilization. Not that you built your civ to begin with.

It ain’t worth it, if you had asked me even 10 years ago.

Ok, is this what civilized man to say?
