How many muslim suicide bombers are nameless such that we can use the distinction to demonstrate rarity vs sad frequency?

I agree, but that doesn't mean we should downplay the threats from other extremists.

See above. Fair point. And yes, people are people and all prone to being assholes.

True, it's human nature after all.

Again, true enough. Its been a while since such attacks were happening in Israel.
|
Even in Israel, I can't think of a single incident where a man goes into a grocery store and shoots up innocent people. I do remember a story last year in Jerusalem where militants went into a yeshiva and shot up 15 students. That was a disgusting crime and there was nothing honorable about it.

But that's the problem. It isn't a lone idiot. A small percentage representing a significant number....
|
The difference is the motives involved. When that idiot shot up a Jewish center in Seattle 3 years ago, some people forget that he was actually a Muslim convert to Christianity and had problems with his life. Of course that doesn't justify the attack, but it's not just the case of Muslim extremism. But I can understand why they would, given the timing of the attack, which was during the Israeli bombing campaign in Lebanon.

I don't condemn Islam. I condemn assholes defending evil based on their faith and more importantly the "Imams" providing them with the justification and urge.

I know, I never stated you did. I can't even recall where you did. I don't have a problem condemning the evil as well as those who brainwash young folks to do so. But given your posts in the past about Muslims trying to take over Europe even though such scenarios will not occur, it's hard to think otherwise.

Um, no, not ok. Murder is murder and must be condemed or face an immoral and violent society.

Agreed, but idiots on both sides of the spectrum can't grasp that.
