Both religions are probably populated by more or less normal people... its the fringe/radical elements of both that give each a bad name.
Unless 'we're' just good and 'they're' just bad... oh, I forgot the apparently obligatory condescending emoticon.  |
Well lets see here
We'll start with CAIR. Our "Islamophobia/backlash that never happened" non-radical group. As far as we have gotten with them is that they accept that Western governments consider that Hamas and Hesbollah are terrorist organisations.
But lets look at recent polls!
12% of Canadian Muslims think it is OK to behead elected officials

Per cent who identify with moderates or extremists in this struggle Muslims in
Canada: Moderates 80 Extremists 14
You see....very happy to see 88% of muslims are happy with their lot. It is the 12% or 84,000 others that worry me.
Lets say the poll is heavily skewed and is wrong by more than the 4.4%. Say....10%.
That still leaves 14000 people.
Add up all the violent dingbat Christian groups and you wouldn't come close to that number.
