Explain how 10 million people could constitute the second largest religion in America.My point, which (as usual) sailed through your head without hitting anything of substance, was that all Muslims are not bent on destroying Western Civilization and killing all Americans. This was in rebuttal to some here on this board who seem to adhere to this misconception. No one knows for sure the exact numbers. My numbers may well have been wrong. But that's not the point. I'll go with the numbers you provide, they'll do. If 10 million people, all Americans, really bent on killing all Americans and destroying Western Civilization, we wouldn't be writing these pathetic little notes on the internet right now. (Plus there's the somewhat comedic notion of millions of Amaericans killing themselves because they are Americans and their faith tells them to kill Americans...) There.

I'll go with the numbers you provide, they'll do.
Let me make a suggestion. Don't post things that "sailed through your head without hitting anything of substance" as facts then turn around and say you made a mistake when called on it. All the while acting like a snot nose kid. Are you now a propagandist? Originally posted by WilMac1023:
In regards to you saying that the statistics were wrong about Islam because they came from an Islamic site, would you also say that a Jewish site that says 6 million Jews were killed by Hitler was a bullshit statistic also?
I'm just using your thought process here. That's all. First of all WilMac... Can you go for just one day of your life without being a dick? No one here uses the "fuck you" smiley more than you do. Cut back a little and try to talk rationally. Stop giving the finger to everything. Your comparison to the Jews killed by Hitler is ridiculous. Did you actually read the site http://islamicweb.com/ ? I doubt that you checked it out. It is a propaganda site. I wouldn't believe any statistics posted there.

So..you STILL don't understand my point? Do you use gloves with that bullwhip? It must chafe. Sad. I did something that the vast majority of peole arguing politics on the internet never do. I adnmitted I might have been wrong. Your turn.

Does your diaper need changing? In my eyes no religion is better than the other, and only a brainwashed little curd would think otherwise. Your mother should have held you back a year.
:rolleyes: [/b]Oh come on! Quit putting words in my mouth Sean. I never said any religion was better than the other. I am not a religious person at all. I can call you stupid and brainwashed for what you believe as well. You still were ASSuming I was talking about all Muslims. Once again, read this slooooowwwwllllyyyy. I said Islamonuts, otherwise known as extremists, terrorists, Jihadis, whatever you want to call them. I never said all Muslims. That is completely ridiculous. I have worked for Muslims that were some of the best people I have ever known. :rolleyes: They would give you the shirt off their back if need be. Getting them to pay overtime was another story though.

Not really, you said, and I quote: "You got those figures from an Islamic site...They are exaggerated and not accurate." By the same token, using your argument, if I was to pull a statistic from a Jewish website that said Hitler killed 6 million Jews, you would also call that BS, because it's a pro-Jewish stance. It's your argument, not mine. I'm sick of everything that's posted that calls out your BS being called "propaganda" by you. If you don't agree with it, you automatically call it "propiganda," even if all of the evidence says you are wrong. You're like arguing with a brick wall. Pointless. Did you actually read the site http://islamicweb.com/ ? I doubt that you checked it out. It is a propaganda site. I wouldn't believe any statistics posted there. Yeah I went there. It's just a site that explains what Islam is. So what? An informational site that explains Islam. I guess that makes Bible.com propoganda too.

Now you are being nothing but an annoying little dick. You posted some bullshit facts. I asked you did you get the figures from a certain site. I then said your figures were not accurate...hence the bullshit. You then accused me of going off on a tangent. In actuality, it is you who have gone off on some tangent. That's all that happened. What in your mind do you think happened?

You're like arguing with a brick wall. You are arguing with yourself here. You make up some ridiculous comparison and then call it MY argument. You are your own brick wall. You can't have a debate with anyone by putting words in someones mouth, then arguing that point as if the other person said it. Getting back to the Islamic web site, I stand by what I said. It is a propaganda site designed for the sole purpose of painting Islam in a glowing light. You can believe whatever you want to believe.

How and why are we in ALR already? Couldn't you guys play nice and debate without the insults? It always results in namecalling and insults :rolleyes: . How do you guys function at work when there is a disagreement? You have to be tolerant of other people's opinions. Before you know it the thread will locked and deleted. We were talking originally about last night's S of U address, correct? Lets stay on course... I cannot stand how everyone (almost everyone ) claps after every sentence. The damn speech would be 25 minutes if he went uninterupted. Stone
