IC. You said....." For you to say that all of Islam is bad because of this small percentage, is tantamount to saying that all Germans are bad because of the Nazi’s, or all Iraqi’s are bad because of Saddam.".... IC. I have never ever said that all the people within islam are bad and you can not show me where I have ever said that. What I do say and have said in the past is that the religion of islam is bad, the way it is worded the violence the sex. The religion of islam can be and is used as a weapon to kill. People can paint all the pretty pictures of islam that they want but they can not stop or change the rate of murders that occur on a daily basis around the world. The only way to stop the killings is to rewrite the bible of islam and start to educate people in the new and improved islam.....won't happen overnight.

More than 1 in 4 respondents in Ghana, Indonesia, Senegal and Uganda said that suicide bombing was justifiable in defense of Islam; 1 in 3 in Pakistan and Mali said so; more than 4 in 10 in Jordan, Bangladesh and Nigeria agreed; and so did more than half in Ivory Coast; and 73 percent in Lebanon. The notion of justifiable violence found the lowest level of support among the Muslims of Tanzania, Turkey and Uzbekistan, all below 20 percent. (The question was asked only of Muslim respondents; the Egyptian authorities did not allow it to be asked.) iht.com The recent Gallup poll found that 40% of Jordanians and 73% of Lebanese agreed that "suicide bombing is permissible in defense of Islam" The Egyptians didn't want anyone to know what the answer would be in their country. You said, Even if it there were, as you say, “millions upon millions of muslims like this”, it would still be a relatively small percentage. but, we are definitely not talking about small percentages or fringe elements here, particularly in the Arab countries. That fact has to be recognized.
