You don't seem to be surprised by the content of the article. May I ask what your stance is on the issue of further marginalizing Muslims living in America? I am a Tunisian-American Muslim by the way.

You appear to be a troll, looking through your twitter feed you have implicitly supported calls for isis members to be released. https://twitter.com/iyad_elbaghdadi/status/89572898247741849...

I'm flattered that you've been "investigating", but I'm not sure what that tweet has to do with your accusation.

How many hundreds of thousands of Muslims were killed by non-Muslim bombs? It is like comparing on ocean to a drop of water.

No, a backwards religion needs to be stopped. Just like the other backwards religions that are becoming less relevant. Islam is the last bastion, and it encourages other idiots from other religions to use their imaginary friend as a tool for justifying abhorrent behavior. Before you complain about secular dictators, they're needed to be brutal dictators because of the primitive attitudes held by the people.

Go away, the fact you see yourself as the victim is the problem. It's all about how you as a victim. Your religion idolises a child rapist. Encourages murder of non believers, rape and pillaging, and as a result of your religious beliefs are surprised by people's vulgar reaction?

Read the United States Government Accountability Office: http://www.gao.gov/assets/690/683984.pdf "Of the 85 violent extremist incidents that resulted in death since September 12, 2001, far right wing violent extremist groups were responsible for 62 (73 percent) while radical Islamist violent extremists were responsible for 23 (27 percent)."

So according to US Govt. Accountability Office, the 1% Muslim demography committed 27% of the terror attacks. That alone should speak volumes.

It speaks the volume that the clear majority of terrorist attacks in the US aren't perpetrated by Muslims, if that's what you mean. Recall the context of the thread: the parent commenter is responding to a challenge that there are no American Christian terrorists.

Written in Arabic, not a single letter to be changed because it is 'perfect' according to itself [1]: And the word of your Lord has been fulfilled in truth and in justice.

The interpretation of the Koran differs significantly between Shia and Sunni Islam.

How about if you talk to Hindu people for example and see how they answer similar questions? Would repeated attacks from Hindu people warrant prosecuting people from Indian origin?

> How about if you talk to Hindu people for example and see how they answer similar questions?

So you think 50% hindu of any country will say, that freedom of religion should be punishable by death? Because that's, apparently, what >50% Pakistani muslims say ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam#Apostasy_in_... )
