                Maybe do-chebags will stop with the "religion of peace strikes again" garbage now. This was an attack on Muhammed's tomb in the name of religion. That's like the Tea Party suicide bombing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the name of patriotism.

                These people aren't religious fanatics, they're just fanatics who happen to communicate their insanity via religion.

                  Just one problem:
                  They call themselves the "Islamic State ... " so it's ISIS, ISIL, or the new and improved DA'ISH.

                  OK, another problem:
                  They tend (predominantly) to recruit folks of Islamic faith.

                    And kill (predominantly) folks of Islamic faith. As for the name, the Westboro Baptist Church can tell you all about how much that matters.

                    To a shut-in in Arkansas the only Muslims they ever hear about are terrorists, so Muslims are all terrorists. To anybody with half a brain a billion plus worldwide Muslims producing a handful of terrorists no more condemns all Muslims than a billion plus Christians producing a handful of Republicans condemns all Christians.

                      That's the best argument to be made.

                      Then you blow it because the rest of your post is your standard bigotry toward the South and Republicans. (And I'll go on record that ISIS, DA'ISH, whatever, is more than a handful of people.)

                              Sadly that shoe too often fits, and thousands relative to billions is a handful.

                                It is a handful, but the people who project back onto the religion itself based on those numbers are ludicrous.

                                It only seems like a cogent observation if you literally don't know any Muslims except the ones blowing themselves up on TV plus Kareem (and of course Obama). It's the equivalent of "knowing" blacks are criminals because you live in a leafy white suburb and only sees black people as perps on Cops.

                                Most Muslims no doubt see the average Christian as a sniper picking off kids at a wedding. SSS and confirmation bias.
