Where? You mean the part where I said most Muslims don't support terrorism, and that most of the victims of radical Islamic terrorism are other Muslims?

It's a common theme in the current political climate. Your Hannitys or Joneses or whoever start repeating the same talking points and the same words, the internet masses begin to parrot consistently.
I'm not on Facebook. I don't know who Hannity and Jones are. Here's where I get my news and global affairs analysis from:

The Globe and Mail
The National Post
CBC radio
The Guardian
The Spectator
The Economist
The New Yorker
The Atlantic

You seem so immersed in social media and so fixated on social media tribes and memes that you're incapable of engaging in any kind of discussion without immediately putting people into boxes that conform to those tribes and memes. It's a pretty juvenile way to treat important issues.
