(7,911 posts)simply can't handle the truth when it offends their preconceived notions of joining hands and singing cumbaya as a way to get fanatics to stop killing non-Muslims for violating laws that only apply to Muslims.
One poll says that 15% to 20% of Muslims worldwide support what the terrorists are doing. Given 1.6 billion Muslims, that's up to 320 million supporters of terrorism. The U.S. population is 300 million, roughly. So while the majority of Muslims are peace-loving, the minority, a mere 320 million of them, are not. 320 million people who consider it their duty to kill all 300 million Americans is a force to be taken seriously. The fanatics DO, after all, outnumber us. Go ahead and defend us with cumbaya's, or get realistic.
And that doesn't even take into account the millions of Christians who want to destroy our public school system by forcing the teaching of "Biblical truths" instead of science. Make no mistake about it. Religious fanatics, be they Muslims or Christians are a serious danger to our country and our freedoms. It may not be politically correct to confront this reality and call out their bullshit, but for heaven's sake let's not make the mistake the Republicans make by ignoring reality in favor of our cherished ideology.
Get the hell out of la-la land and come back to reality.
