In a sense you are correct Greta! What a surprise! But in what sense are you correct?

Well a lot of Muslims who aren't members of IS are engaged in politically directed violence at the moment. Most of these Muslims are in places like Syria and Iraq - fighting IS. Most of the multi-national coalition of dozens of nations fighting IS are Muslim countries. Almost all of the front-line troops fighting IS are Muslims. And these Muslims enjoy the support of almost all of the rest of the Muslim world, The goal of these violent Muslims is the total destruction of IS, and they are succeeding in accomplishing this goal.

So in this sense and that sense only you are correct to say that IS aren't the only violent Muslims around.

What crap. Not only are you juvenile, you're an intellectual fraud as well.

What a sad case you are!

You don't like that I posted some facts that challenge the line being pushed by our resident looney Right Islamophobes. And unable to challenge any of the facts in my post (because they are all true), you resort to name calling. And then you have the nerve to call me "juvenile" when you are acting like the proverbial 5 year old who has had his marbles confiscated by his mother.

What a petulant childish moron you are. Instead of dishing out abuse, try working at your intellectual pretensions a bit harder and one of these days you might find you have elevated yourself to be Bosco's intellectual equal. I know that's quite a way above where you are at currently but you never know - you might just have that in you ... and wouldn't it be suuuuccchhhh an accomplishment for you!

Just shows the idiocy of both of you.

Someone does an opinion poll. A really good one. All scientific and shit.

What have we learned? What people's opinions are.

Nothing necessarily factual. Opinions.

Those are your fingers and your ears.

I hope you licked the shit off first.

I know that in your circle, repeating an opinion makes it fact.

I can hear ya that you say "A lot of these people hold this opinion."

It doesn't make it more than an opinion.

I have faith you will always act like an asshat. A lot of people here think that. We could do a poll.

And it may well be a fact that you will always act like an asshat. But the poll would only tell us that a lot of people here hold that opinion.

We'd need more to establish it as anything more than an opinion.
