So have I. Since they are opinions, and I too feel that I am right and you are wrong, we can agree to disagree, or I can at least.

My overall point for this thread is that we shouldn't judge an entire population based on the actions of a select few. Two correlating factors do not automatically equal a direct connection. Most of our prisons and crimes in America are committed by African Americans, but we don't think of all African Americans as criminals, nor are they criminals because they are African American. There's many more complex, deeper reasons for peoples' actions. There's over a billion peaceful Muslims in the world. It's wrong to generalize all of them because of the actions of a few. If they dedicate their lives to a book with teachings and ways of life - and out of 1.6 billion, a few thousand twist the words of it - then to say that the book itself is the problem isn't backed up by the statistics. There's far deeper problems other than simply saying the easy thing: that Islam is the problem.
