[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"][QUOTE="Snipes_2"] "A Few", how many suicide bombings and Attempted bombings have there been in the past 5 years around the world?Snipes_2

Why are you trying so hard to prove that a big chunk of the Muslim population are extremists?

What's the point of a post like this? Why can't we just acknowledge that the extremists need to be stopped?

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"]

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"] Out of the 1.2 billion muslims in the world? Not many, snipes...worlock77

Even if it were a million that's still a fraction out of 1.2 billion.

I sense a "burning" of some Hicks pride. Nazis burned books...

No, you're implying that most Muslims are terrorists. You asked how many suicide bombing there have been over the past couple of decades and I pointed out that even if it were a million that would still be a small number compared to the number of Muslims in the world.

[QUOTE="GreySeal9"]

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"] I didn't equate Muslims as a whole to extremists :? Now where's that shovel... :"try to answer with a shred of intellectual honesty i" The irony...is...unbearable... So, now lives are cheap? We shouldn't take into account the lives taken by this "Relatively Small" number of "Extremists". Snipes_2

Yes, you are generalizing. It is apparent from your general argument. That's why you are arguing with me right now. We could both agree that the extremists don't account for the millions of Muslims yet you keep trying to throw these little "but what about all the lives they took?" sort of BS.

I never said lives were cheap. There goes the dishonesty again. I said that a relatively small amount of Muslims can take a whole bunch of lives, so your attempt to use the amount of lives taken to say something about Islam is irrelevant. Your attempt to to try to make it look like a said that lives are cheap is deeply dishonest.

What is the point of talking about how many lives they took? Nobody's arguing that big amounts of lives were taken? But again, extremists/=/whole. You seem to not be able to agree with that notion or if you do, you're sure doing a lot of unneccessary arguing.

So what conclusion are you trying to arrive at with the point about the amount of lives?

I call a spade and spade, so I'm not going to make an exception when it comes to you.

You tried to spin my comment about the number of lives into calling lives "cheap." That is dishonest and I'm not going to sugarcoat it.

You never said explicitly that extremists represent the whole, but your comments have implicit generalizations in them. You do realize that some of us recognize subtlety, right?

I'm sure any extremist could take that many lives. Christianity just doesn't have a Taliban scale operation.

I say that because every time we try to settle on "the extremists are bad, but there is a small amount of them", you argue, even going as far as to falliciously site the number of lives taken.

Why would you do this if you're not trying to imply a large amount are extremists?

No, I'm not saying it's indicative of everyone that follows the religion...I posted a link that you can read. I would say at least a few hundred thousand or a Million people have been killed worldwide in the past 20 years.

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"] You realize your arguing over 1 million lives taken? What other religion (Extremists) has taken THAT many lives in such a short span of time?Snipes_2

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"] No, You're arguing the number is "Relatively Small", while I'm arguing that they have taken many lives no matter how small a number they are. Uhh"Your bit about how many lives were taken is irrelevant and cheap." Stop saying I'm dishonest, you're not getting anywhere with that, since I'm clearly not, as you can see by this quote from your post. Again the irony, I never said Extremists represented EVERYONE In the religion...Snipes_2

I said that your point was cheap, you tried to spin it as me saying lives are cheap.

I'm not misrepresenting your post. Every time we've said that the extremists are a small number, you've gone out of your way to argue, even using the cheap tactic of equating lives taken to number of extremists when a small amount of people are capable of talking tons of lives.

Why would you do this if you didn't have some vested interest in inflating the number of extremists?
