    Obviously, Muslims didn't start killing anyone in the name of Islam until the religion was founded. Read the Islamic texts for all of the justification needed to do the killing. Yes, the religion can be interpreted more peacefully and often is -- sanitized Islam -- but it is a super easy religion to interpret to justify killing.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_violence ---> remember Wikipedia tends to be liberal..not as liberal as CNN but still liberal.

    --> a skeptic of political Islam for sure but not someone who really hates Muslims.

    I suspect either of us would convert to religion XYZ, if we were told our heads and the heads of our family members would be cut off if we don't. Then after a while, followers don't even know how their family first became adherents to religion XYZ.

    I don't agree with everything Bill Warner states -- Islam like Christianity isn't a monolith -- but he does bring a more accurate picture than most folks recognize on how Islam spread so quickly.

    Not every Muslim needs to be willing to kill and chop off heads for the religion to spread. If enough are willing to do it, the religion spreads faster if people aren't willing to fight back.

    A religion that you can't leave without being killed or threatened to be killed has problems. There is some progress being made in the Islamic world -- women can finally drive in Saudi Arabia and a little less hate is being preached there -- but a country like Turkey is sliding backwards.

    He was raised in Indonesia for several years as a muslim, though attended a Black Church in Chicago.
    We may never know what exactly his inner spirituality was but I think it's safe to assume he was a liberal pick-and-choose buffet type of religious person, who didn't really hold any particular solid dogmas... the type of person who would be suitable to Democrats.

    Or we could break it down by race as well as gender, if you really wanted to go that route.
    I heard that statistically Black women are 12 times more likely to be abused than White women. (This despite the stereotype of them being strong women who don't put up with any crap)

    Actually I used to have an interracial couple living above me. He was White, she was the Black one (unusual I know). Anyway, she was the one pushing him around and raising her voice at him and he just submissively put up with it.
    (He used to be an engineer until they outsourced all the stereo production to China, they sent him over there for a while to run things in the factory before they made him train his replacement, after that he basically became unemployed with a few little side gigs. Kind of off-topic)

    I wouldn't know about what Obama believes. Reagan talked about God but never went to church.

    How many supposed believers can even name the four gospels, let alone talk about their meaning?

    He was not a Muslim. But in his mind, Islam > Christianity.

    Defaulting to read the islamic texts is a cop out.
    There's a billion? or so muslims, less than 0.01% are involved in killing.
    And if one were to follow the bible, in its entirety, the same would be happening from Jews and Christians. Not buying it, just because some text says some things.

    But I asked for Statistics, not your opinion.

    They got a bad deal and have become an example of what to expect when one becomes dependent on the government.

    No, it's not "untruth".

    He even admitted that the news isn't about journalism, it's about clicks.

    Journalism in 2019 is Jerry Springer with a straight face.

    That's exactly what most of the news is. That is how they get paid.

    But you projected and put words into his mouth, that because it's not in the news, that is isn't something to be concerned about. That is your untruth.

    And that's exactly why in the 80's 75% of people believed the news told them the truth, and in 2019 75% of people believe the media lies to them.

    There's your untruth.

    Blame the 24/7 news cycle.
    And anyone who listens to 24/7 news channels for their news is a fool. At best it's editorial comments for the people who are already of the same mindset.

    But that doesn't make killing in inner city Chicago any less of an event. And no one cares. But you said since it's not covered, means no one cares.

    I've been saying that for a decade or more.
    Everytime someone whines about CNN, MSNBC, Fox. They are all the same 24/7 reality tv editiorials.

    Funny how despite it being a 24/7 cycle, you still don't hear anything about it.

    The purpose of the news is to inform, and clearly they don't think it's something you need to be informed of.

    The MSM in the US is an Establishment propaganda machine which cares mostly for increasing the fortunes of the Establishment big money interests. There was very little mention of Christians being killed by the Jihadists were were arming and supporting in Syria .. and when a mention did happen the MSM conveniently left out the "this is the side we are on" part.
