(13,029 posts)what a "straw man" is. Please educate yourself about the meaning of that term before you fling it.
As far as my claim, how big a fool would you like to look like? Here is a compilation (just one of MANY) of the numbers of Muslims who support the murder and violence dictated by their religion:

I'll just hit a few of many highlights:
World Public Opinion: 83% of Egyptians approve of attacks on American troops.
26% of Indonesians approve of attacks on American troops.
26% of Pakistanis approve of attacks on American troops.
68% of Moroccans approve of attacks on American troops.
90% of Palestinians approve of attacks on American troops.
72% of Jordanians approve of attacks on American troops.
52% of Turks approve of some or most groups that attack Americans (39% oppose)
A minority of Muslims disagreed entirely with terror attacks on American troops.
About half of those opposed to attacking Americans were sympathetic with al-Qaedas attitude toward the U.S.

Now read that list and all of the others at the link, and then come back here and say with a straight face that only "a few" Muslims approve of the murder and violence dictated by, and committed in the name of, their religion.
Your Stalin analogy is bullshit, and has been shown to be so many, many times on this board, so please don't weary the ears of intelligent people with another rehash, unless you can provide a list of things he did that were dictated by, and in the name of, atheism. We both know you'll fail miserably. But I will enjoy watching you try.
