obtuse?
Pot, kettle.

Of course not all Muslims are bad....Indeed reformist Muslims and peaceful Muslims are fine people, fine people we need.

However you need to research the differences between the religions to understand why reformist Muslims are a tiny minority who fear for their lives.

The vast majority of Jews and Christians recognise that their book was written by men 'inspired' by God.....Muslims believe their book are the 'actual' words of God.

So the evil bullsh*t in the Bible can be easily re-interpreted or put down to cultural requirements or understandings of the day or misinterpreting of what God meant.

Try doing this with Islam.

Because they are seen as the 'literal' words of God most jealously guard them and many of them become quite intransigent when it is suggested that their book's sayings on women, homosexuals, apostates and so on need updating.

All religions are nonsense..All religions do some good and some harm and contain good and not so good people....but not all religions are equally harmful.

We have a problem and we have to deal with it.
There is no implication that all Muslims are bad or that one religion is nuttier than another. There is no need for fallacious reasoning reasoning at all.
What we do have to do is protect citizens by all effective means necessary and to hell with political correctness.

From the Evening Standard

"Television presenter Phillip Schofield has been ridiculed for walking across Westminster Bridge in "defiance" of the London terror attack.

The This Morning presenter posted a picture on Istagram of the Houses of Parliament enveloped in shadow on Thursday evening, a day after fanatic Khalid Masood ran down dozens of pedestrians, killing three of them.

Schofield wrote: “Walking across Westminster Bridge in tribute and defiance.”

But while he received dozens of messages praising him on Instagram, on Twitter his walk was widely mocked."

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

He evidently doesn't.

You do not agree.

You compare the tiny numbers of cases of fundamentalist Christian groups who have very little they can point to within their religious books with the estimated 15 percent of the Islamic worldwide population who vote for extreme Sharia political groups. Groups who advocate death for homosexuals and so on.

Any look at the surveys of the viewpoints of Muslims shows the extent of the problem but no....you want to say that there is a comparison between abolition clinic attacks and this problem.

Excuse me for this but I think your view is apart of the problem. Your point of view is why we have inaction on this front and I feel that this problem will continue to get worse mainly because of the inaction of people with your viewpoint. People alive now will die down to this inaction.

It's because of this viewpoint that this country spends up to one third of its security budget on policing this one group. This funding will have to increase as the Islamic population increases. It's why we have barriers on our parliament.

How much do we spend and worry about on the tiny numbers of radical Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jews?.....the last group...which is unfortunately emigrating from this country. Again, partly due to the protection and cover given by people like you to a religion that is inherently aggressive to them.

Yet you believe there is a comparison that can be made. It is frankly staggering and shows where we are and why this problem is now so large.
