You're not helping yourself by suggesting such headlines. Religion has nothing to do with this ridiculous demands.

Of course not. Just a remarkable coincidence, that's all.

Sam Harris is getting richer each passing of the day, just because of the headlines like yours. When you blame one religion, you blame all. Your choice.

"When you blame one religion, you blame all"

Surely, on second thought, you recognize the absurdity of that statement.

They're doing this, arifsali, in the name of ONE religion. It's the same one that's been called as I quoted. I didn't come up with the name, I'm just quoting it. If you happen to be believer in that religion, instead of getting on my case, you should be showing sheer outrage at them for calling for such horrible acts, since I assume you don't believe that your religion calls for it. So, anything these people do is ok by you, or perhaps if not ok, certainly not enough to vocally object to it, but if I make a comment referring to the religion, which these people claim to represent and commit their horrible acts in the name of - you're certainly vocalizing objection to me.

That's where the...

Who's got the mouthpiece? You think the Western media cares for what I, or people like me, have to say? I'm not objecting to your rights of comiing up with such a headline, I'm just objecting to you joining the hype and the fear this tiny majority is making us create. These terrorists are in such a tiny majority from the religious Islam that it is not even funny for them to be receiving such a huge media mouthpiece. There is something inherently wrong with Western media, just look at the numbers and think about it.

This tiny minority--as you mean to say--may be tiny as a percentage, but is huge in real number,.and an enormous danger.

Well, arifsali, if these are YOUR people, and you want me to stand next to you, which I would gladly do - don't wait for me to slam them - YOU DO IT! However tiny this minority is - it's certainly is causing a ruckus in the world and the reason they continue is because their own give them a pass on it. I know there are groups, and fatwas etc.... BS... the only vocal opposition to these horrible acts and movement is coming from us and not even all of us, so there's either silence from your end or bunch of apologists who want to 'understand' the grievances and somehow that'll make it better.

I don't say what I say because they're muslims, I say it because they're terrorists and in terms of ...

I hate to keep coming back to the same point, but ... when you say:

how do you know? The fact that you don't see "vocal opposition" in the media doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

If it doesn't exist in public eye, which gets it mostly via the media - for all intensive purposes - it doesn't exist. You can yell in your house until you're blue in the face... nobody will hear you... but if you get on CNN - that's an entirely different story. And if you get on al jazeera - even better.
