The range for radical Islam can be between 180million and 690million

no

I partially agree, and disagree.

To be fair we should be saying "Arab Muslims", not just "Muslims".

Now, not all Arab Muslims support violence, but those who do are not an insignificant minority. I encourage you to check polling on this done in M.E. countries etc.

If you took a poll in the US/Europe and asked how many think Islam or the Mid East should be wiped out, what do you think the numbers would reflect? A poll can easily be skewed depending on who's asking and how it's asked. Speaking of polls, Gallup has a really good article on the subject of Muslims and Islam: http://www.gallup.com/poll/157082/islamophobia-understanding-anti-muslim-sentiment-west.aspx This one was especially entertaining:

Did you read that guy's criteria for someone being called a "radical muslim"? If they agree with Sharia law then they are radical. So that pretty much includes all the middle east.

Theres a range for a reason. that lower 180 million is ones that agree with bombings.

still far more then just a hand full.

I'm pretty sure Christianity began as a peaceful religion. It was only much later that the violent version popped up. But by then it was much more a government/state than a religion.

This. Which is in stark contrast to Islam and Judaism.

Eh there was another survey in Austria where some 70% of the muslims surveyed said that sharia is more important than the laws of the land.

It so figures that the two U.S. officials who undoubtedly are under the White House administration would go to NBC news and not FoxNews to say that one of the terrorists is dead and the other two captured.

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/pa...ct-dead-two-custody-u-s-officials-say-n281761

The two officials probably wouldn't be allowed to go to FoxNews or any such right wing news organization for this particular story at this time. I lean to the left so I'm not criticizing them for it.

Agree. I saw the video and pictures of them killing the policeman. These subhuman monsters need to be destroyed.

Policeman shot dead was a 42 years old muslim...

Other than that the cartoonists were the most famed here since a few decades for some.

If Muslims would keep their planes out of our buildings and their bombs away from our marathons, then im sure our opinion polls would be a tad more sympathetic to that religion.

No just wait for the police. /sarcasm

5 minutes 12 lives, 2 of them police officers in a country with heavy restrictions on firearms.

There are about 600 people killed every year including cases where no fire arms are used, to compare with the US, overall the law is efficient whatever the fairy tales of thoses instrumentalising tragic events for their own agendas.

I don't think two police with 9mm SIG pistols are a match for 2-3 guys with AK rifles. I'd guess the AK's were full auto too.

Ambushed? My .38 revolver is enough for 2 guys with AKs.

But this isn't a gun thread.

Homicide rate by firearms in the USA is 2.83 per 100,000

France is 0.22 per 100,000.
