They haven't said that I have seen, but I'll go ahead and say it. The Muslim murders are "overlooked" by the left hiding behind that "separation of church and state" thingie. The state cannot interfere with religious killings.... That's the twisted left wing mindset for you, in actuality, I believe they are terrified of Muslims and are hoping they don't get their heads cut off, hoping they focus on us right wingers....

"Pretty much deny that a large portion of Muslims support the practice." No one has any idea how many Muslims support the practice! Indonesia has the largest population of Muslims, and I haven't heard of any honor killings there. It's more of an Arab, tribal thing than a Muslim thing.

"What's your response? Pretty much deny that a large portion of Muslims support the practice. " I have responded with my personal feelings about abhorent acts committed by Muslims in the name of Islam. Such acts are horrific and condemnable by any decent human being on Earth. I know Muslims and have never met one who supports such behavior. I live in America but many international Muslims visit here and share their views. Such practices are widely condemned and illegal in most corners of the world. I have no way of knowing the percentage is of Muslims who secretly support such acts. It is enough to state that these practices are not condoned in the mainstream, and that where and when they occur Muslims are outraged by them and many movements are active to stop such things. What you do is bigoted since you cast your wide net over all Muslims and Islam in general, so if pointing that out offends you tough tooties, it is what it is, you own it. >>"Then talk nonsense about statistics ..." What nonsense? I posted some statistics from a credible source that challenges the premise of your holy war on Islam. That is a rational and sensible thing to do under the circumstances. It is the fair and just thing to do for innocent Muslims who are unfairly persecuted by positions such as yours. I offered a sensible explanation about why crime statistics are high in some conditions and lower in others. Any reasonable nonbigoted person would see the sense in that, you found it annoying. >>>and how you're supposedly an expert on that subject. On what subject, have I claimed to be an expert, statistics? I haven't claimed any such thing. I merely mentioned that I have done research and understand how statistics are gathered, given credibility and interpreted. Anyone trained in research methods knows these things without needing to be be an expert. No credible statistic stands as, we suspect some number to be valid. I know you are not that dumb so there must be another explanation for such obstinancy, there is. >>>Toss in the usual "bigot" accusations. Same old same old. No toss, no accusations. The shoe fits, that's all. What do you think qualifies as bigotry? >>>Do you truly believe that Ten? >>>Yes I do. Bigotry: A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs (ex: Intolerance of Muslims/Islam). "Put me on your Ignore list." I don't have an ignore list. I attempt to extend common courtesy to others and expect the same from others. When I get feral conduct in return, that speaks for itself.
