I think that you are making the mistake of trying to reason with them....

Lying genocidal maniacs cannot be reasoned with....

Its much more effective to simply mock and ridicule them.

deserving as they may be, mocking and ridiculing has no effect whatsoever other than defining the lines of separation more clearly. it brings no resolution or education. It only serves to alienate people even more.

You cannot counter senseless rhetoric with more senseless rhetoric. Then you only wind up with one common thing.. the lack of sense. And i don't think that does anybody any good.

You seem to have a hinduistic attitude towards spirituality.. that means you understand the concept of unity. The purpose of debate is to clarify the unity of humanity.. not to condemn or to draw lines of separation.

Besides they are not lying genocidal maniacs, and its silly of you to say so. Just because they support certain policies, doesn't mean that they are really aware of the consequences OR the history OR the reality of the situation. But such is also the case with a large number of otherwise peaceful muslims who will STILL spout useless rhetoric and threats. In fact such is the case with humanity across the board.

Humans are humans.. and as such they are to accorded the exact same respect as anyone else. And if they are incapable of responding with respect.. well it is not your place to judge. One is only master of one's own actions. They will make their own peace eventually.

Looks to me like the people in the image are mostly young men, about the same age of sports fans here in America who riot after championships.

I work with all sorts of people, including Muslims, in a healthcare setting, and I've gotten to know a few of them. For those non-Muslims on the board, how many Muslims do you personally know?

Yep, those peace-loving Muslims are really being peace-loving.

BREITBART.COM - 5 churches attacked in Palestinian areas following Pope's comments on Islam

So far it's ONLY 5 churches in the Palestinian area that have been attacked. There will be lots more.

Peaceful protests happen all the time by Muslims...and once some get out of hand suddenly all Muslims are "evil dooers"? I agree that the people who use violent protest are wrong to be doing so. But don't attempt to say that Christians or other non-Muslim religions are all holier than thou. Talk about guilt by association.

You're right. Guilt by association. Why didn't a moderate peaceful muslim tell those idiots to stop rioting and burning things?

Where are all the riots, by Christians, as a result of something a Muslim said?

I suppose you're going to say that they're happening all over the world, but FoxNews won't report on them.
