The numbers speaking up compared to the whole are the equivalent of deafening silence.

Have 1.6 billion Christians condemned the attacks?


After Paris Attacks, French Muslim Council Calls On France's 2,500 Mosques To 'Unambiguously' Denounce Terror

Do you have any reservations about what Christians think about the attacks? You don't really need to poll them to get a sense of their feelings.

So, we're back to my previous comments then. You expect 1.58 billion people to act? Well, that isn't going to happen no matter the group and no matter the issue.

Muslims around the world condemn terrorism after the Paris attacks

no, but I expect at least 1% of the 1.58 billion to act, not .0001%


It all comes down to expecting a billion + people to act when what occurs has nothing to do with them. I mean, should white folks apologize for slavery today?

I'm mightily confused by your statement about expecting Muslims to act, that Islam has nothing to do with them.


I would expect if slavery were happening today and a majority of Christians were opposed to it they would be saying so, in numbers larger than a few here and there. Abortion could be your guild.

Not suggesting they do, what evidence do you have to the contrary?

I'd genuinely like to see it, as I have many Muslim friends over many, many years and know they are Americans first, religion second, but even they have their doubts as to where this "majority" stands.

Act.

Not talk, mention it, editorialize over it, act.

starting with the Saudis. Act. do something to clean up your own mess, cause they have clearly created a large portion of it and encourage/foster it today.

So, show me. don't tell me. Show me. Not one pilot that gets shot down and burned to a crisp and that's enough. Show me the changes in the "classrooms", the laws, the rights, rituals, expectations and privileges of your own people.

They're not born wired any differently than anyone else, and for the most part they are very intelligent people. How's about putting that do some good use?

If not, then like the other intelligent folks we've known, like the germans, italians, japanese and others, we'll have to come kill you. Lot's of you. And your children and grandmothers.

I'd say the choice is theirs. We've rarely fought a war we weren't invited to. These a-holes declared war on us eons ago.

Time to bust out the Raid.
