Nothing like proving the point-

I'm with NA and GD on this point. Also, may I ask why you put Muslim "faith" in quotes? I'm not baiting, I'm curious.

I'm not going to bother lying- I am not going to pretend I respect this particular faith. I don't.

....and I know you were not baiting me, it's a fair question and I am being honest about it. Anyone who does want to bait me or judge me- save it.

However- note that I did not say AL Muslims- anywhere. So I am not judging all of any group- but I am pointing out that these actions seem to prove the quote from the Pope.

....and I never said reactionary violence was a Muslim trait- I said there were not other large religions who turned to mob violence when confronted with something they did not like (recall what some Muslims did about those cartoons in Denmark)- but then I conceded that the violence in Ireland is an example of another large group reacting with violence.

Buy you blame it on the religion, not the individuals.

For example, "try to convince me this is a "peaceful" religion." You're condemning an entire religion based on the actions of a small percentage of its followers.

but I am pointing out that these actions seem to prove the quote from the Pope.

All it proves to me is that Muslims are subject to the same human failings as any group of people.

I can't imagine that that's the first time someone's mentioned the IRA in a discussion with you. Heck, I'm quite certain I've used it as an example several times before.

But if you'd like more examples, look up "Army of God", "Lord's Resistance Army", "Nagaland Rebels", "Christian Identity", "Westboro Baptist Church"...
