"You are arguing about how many muslims buy into all or part of terrorist ideology because of the type of muslims they are or who they follow.

Sorry, one post or that percent thing is not my argument with Nadine. She has argued across several threads that the Radical Islamic position is not a corrupt interpretation of Islam but is the authentic Islam that I and every other non-extremists are lieing to you about (taqiyya).

I don't care if 99.99999 percent of Muslims think terrorism is justified by the Quran, I would argue that they are wrong. However, the fact is every educated Muslim believes targeting innocents (terrorism) is a sin. The corrupt extremists twist doctrine to convince themselves otherwise, just as Ward Churchill did in his now famous comment about little Eichmans, and just as Nadine is doing when she labels all Muslims this way. This is absolutely the case with radical Islamic terrorism. Nadine finds some usefulness in promoting it as a gripe against all Muslims, but she in so doing, she has become what she condemns and I will continue to call her on it. She will probably continue to lie about it.
