Islam as a whole, bears some collective responsibility for Islamic terriorism until it reforms itself.
Should we seek to encourage such reform, i.e. support moderate Islamic forces?

Yes I do. But I also understand it to be a general statement in the context of this message board that could have differing meanings if you insist on interpreting it specifically.
Jesus....you said you were making a legal argument to me and responding to my legal argument. Why in the world would you make a legal argument yet ignore the legal meaning of the words in favor of whatever definition you choose.
Yes you do.
And yet another ClinToon argument that degenerates into "did not/did too".
You are trying to make his comment more specific to back up the argument you postulated based upon your original assumptions. I'm rather surprised that you can't simply admit this.
And yet another ClinToon argument that boils down to "did not/did too."
I know "you" said this from the beginning. But the original poster said none of this. You went specific based on your...wait for it...assumptions.
And you responded TO ME that I was incorrect in those statements.
I don't disagree btw that I perhaps did the same. But still, my statements remain consistent with the original general nature of his comment.
No they don't....obviously.
Those non-citizens not having stepped on American soil or been given some legal status by the US are NOT protected by the 1st Amendment. If you want to be even more particular, they are not protected by the 1st Amendment with regards to the decision whether or not to let them on American soil or in the granting of status.
We don't need BigOSUFan to clarify anything for you to definitively state whether or not you agree with the bolded proposition of mine.
So what say you?
But that still doesn't mean that all Muslims are extremists (when millions aren't) or that we should discriminate against Muslims.
Again, that is all I am arguing.
You know what they used to do. Which leads to an even more informative question to ponder...what helped put a halt to those actions within nations that were predominantly Christian?
No one in this thread has said all Muslims are extremists or that we should engage in blanket discrimination against all Muslims.
White males figured out a better path?
And where did I post that these statements have been posted on this thread?
Nice attempt at creating a strawman of your own, lol.
But that still doesn't mean that all Muslims are extremists (when millions aren't) or that we should discriminate against Muslims.

You you're posting.
An incredibly self evident and obvious statement in a context free vacuum not at all in response to the numerous individual you have dealt with in this thread.
Subject to discussion and understanding, yes. Branding of all adherents of Islam in a certain manner, no. Islam is a very diverse religion, as are most religions.
You're going to continue attempting to ignore this and not answer in favor of dodge, deflect, and avoid...aren't you.
And what was that path?
Should we seek to encourage such reform, i.e. support moderate Islamic forces?
the evolution of Christianity.
No you haven't.I've given you my answer. Sorry you can't accept it.
Time for you to sit down counselor.
We should encourage it
No you haven't.
Quote your where you answered whether or not you agree with the accuracy and legal correctness of the bolded statement....you can't....because you haven't.
Do you agree or disagree with this proposition.....
"Those non-citizens not having stepped on American soil or been given some legal status by the US are NOT protected by the 1st Amendment."?
At no point have you stated your position on that proposition one way or the other.
All you have done is dodge, deflect, ignore, and avoid that very precise and explicit request for your position on that very precise and succinct legal proposition.
Agree
Or
Disagree
Which is it?
You mean moderate forces upon Christianity . . . a moderation of Christianity?
Say what?
They then had an issue with my claim that all religions have extremists.
lol, you try so hard.
I've given you my answer. Maybe if you would take the time to respond to my answer instead of dismissing it because it isn't what you want to accept, we could continue the discussion.
If not, I guess you will just keep repeating yourself ad nauseam.
Good graph. Clearly shows not all Muslims are terrorists.
I agree. We should encourage and support moderate Islamic forces. We don't do this though by grouping all Muslims together, advocating Muslim bans, and engaging in other activity that offends moderate Muslims while playing into the hands of Muslim extremists. We have to engage and promote the moderates
Radical Islamism has to be defeated by moderate Islamism (which is what we want to see). This should be what we work to support.
It should be fairly simple to do....my proposition is post #88 in this thread....
Annnnny other insight into this graph? Anything at all?
When you said "the evolution of Christianity," did you mean by that the moderation of Christianity?
How's that working out?
Yes, some terrorists are not Muslims.
Annnnny other insight into this graph? Anything at all?
You really think it was going to happen overnight? How long did it take for nations that were predominately Christian to moderate?
Not to mention that going backwards on our part by electing leaders like Trump sure doesn't help either.
It would be a lot more interesting to talking to you if you would try to be intellectually honest instead of dogmatically correct.

Post #89 was my answer to post #88.

Just asking how it's going so far.
Perhaps if you wouldn't try so hard to disagree with me.....
Here...
Again, it isn't what you wanted so you just can't bring yourself to accept it and respond. That is on you though.
Perhaps if you wouldn't try so hard to disagree with me.....
It's all reference back to interpretation of BigOSUFan's statement.
