What is the deal with Muslims?

[retrospooty]

Are republicans really crapping their pants over Syrian refugees, or is it just a way to pander to their bigoted base?

Oh, they are definitely pandering to their bigoted base. There is zero doubt about that.

If some nutcase shot an abortion provider, people would be up in arms if it was presented as "Christians in the U.S. are terrorists.

Don't ask me, I think Christianity is a close second to Islam when it comes to violent psychopaths and complete intolerance of other faiths. In general christianity has come a long way int eh past century though and at least "mass murder" isn't condoned. The world would be far better off without either IMO.

Is their base crapping its pants or just bigoted?

Revolutions have been fought over far less. If that is the case and the silent majority is just too afraid, then I again say "what the hell is the deal with Islam". A religion that (regardless of the wording) has spawned a culture filled with 90% cowards and 10% psychopaths has something fundamentally wrong with it.

I feel the same way about Christianity. The end result of all the atrocities perpetuated in its name, to me makes it overall a bad influence on the world. Islam is even worse in that today, in the modern era they still cant "work and play well" with the rest of the planet. The whole western Judaism and the 2 cults it spawned (Christianity and Islam) has been a total nightmare.

I don't even like getting into the percentages because those can be made up, but what can't be made up is how new ISIS is and how quickly and powerful they are already in that short time.

Sure it was a handful in Paris and they are mostly just cells outside of places like Syria, but there they are already taking on the Taliban and the police/military with success.

They are as afraid of Muslims as you are of them.

You sound like a proud graduate of the "You are, but what am I" school of debate.

Not really. You have a group of armed nutjobs just waiting for a power vacuum. Assad in Syria and his civil war caused a vacuum there, and the US ousting Saddam in Iraq caused a vacuum there. They just kind of stepped in. They really aren't capable of waging an actual war. IF they were, they would not be doing suicide bombings in Paris, they would be invading. Terrorism is the act of those without any real power. Try to make a small attack and have it seem much more severe than it is. What we really had was a small team of armed people vs. unarmed and unaware civilians.

As I said, you should head over there and lead by example. After all you're one big bad billybadass of the intarweb and would be able to rid the area of radicals/extremist in no time.

It's a fucking shame that every time a Muslim does something bad in a foreign country our, many of them born right here in the USA, Muslims have to publically denounce them to appease the faithful here or be branded as supporting of terrorism...

As if every time a Christian commits a heinous act in America all Christian leaders publically decry them.

What do they want our American Muslims do to make these folks happy, fly over to the ME, infiltrate ISIS and blow them up from within?

It's really bringing out the "best" from Republicans.

Ben Carson likened Syrian refugees fleeing the country’s bloody civil war and Islamic State violence to dogs on Thursday.

You seem to be super concerned about what I think about Republicans. But good for you to not self-identify as one.

It is a big area for a bunch of armed thugs, but it's largely due to the lack of opposition caused by the power vacuum I mentioned above. Alot of it they just waltzed in with a few hundred men and their guns and said "Look at me, I am the captain now"
