At the end of the day, the guy likes getting a reaction out of people. Picking all the worst examples he can find of 'muslims behaving badly' and trying to persuade us all that this is in fact the norm is an easy way to do that at the moment. I used to find it irksome at first, but now I couldn't really care a less. I usually get a good laugh out of it these days :-D
My opinions are not those of all Americans, but they should be.
Well, I have to admit, due to Karlos' evil influence, I now have curry at a local Thai restaurant every few weeks. :lol:
Actually, I prefer reasoned debate with those of differing opinions, and Karlos' replies are usually articulate and coherent ;-)
Although pissing contests and name calling can be very amusing. :-D
There are too many acts of terrorism committed by Muslims who justify their actions by referencing a militant Islamic ideology, to equate these murdering extremists to an irrational bogeyman fear.
These Jihadists have a global hostility to all secular and democratic governments, and in particular the U.S. They want to recreate the Islam of the 7th century, which they regard as a golden age. Their ultimate goal is to bring about a global caliphate, their means is jihad. My focus will change when Jihadists quit planning mass murder.
