What kind of percentage of the Muslims do you believe are rotten potatoes? Maybe 1 out of 1000? You know what, I lived in France with their 6 million Muslims I would be real nervous about those 6,000 bad guys constantly thinking of the best way to make their point by blowing up as many "infidels" as possible on their way to 72 virgins and Herostratic fame.

No doubt you would argue that the 1 out 1000 is "way too high", so let's put the figure closer to 1 out of 10,000: Those 600 real bad cases lurking behind my back anytime I'm close to a crowd would still make me extremely nervous.


Apparently, you haven't lived in the US very long. I would suspect the number of bad Americans who are prepared to jack your car or rob your house probably exceed the number you quote for the bad Muslims. As long as there are inequities in this world, there will be people prepared to commit violence against others.

Look at what ETA, the Basque separatists, have been doing this past week.......bombs in all of Spain's major cities. We live in a violent world that has gotten more violent in recent years.
