Perspective. A stack of 7 billion pennies would be 6,607 miles tall. The number of people killed on 9/11 would be stack less than 0.3% of a mile.

Terrorism sucks. War sucks. But neither define the overwhelmingly vast majority of us.
I'm aware of the world's population. I know we're talking about a small fraction of people who act on their stupid ass beliefs. It's still a huge problem.

If you can't explain why religion is the cause of a country's problem, maybe you shouldn't have jumped to the conclusion to begin with

This destroys your argument, and out of your own mouth. Nothing you say now has merit anymore. You just said "Why is X the way it is? I don't know but I think it's ****." Great debating skills man.

Of course they can if they want to. I was brought up a Roman Catholic but when I was old enough I said **** that **** and I don't believe. People have free will.

You have nothing to back this up, therefore you suck and your arguments die in the dust. Epic fail.

So I guess you're figuring that it's cool to live in a place where the majority of people believe in Sharia Law? That's awesome. Get a Muslim majority in your country. See how homosexuals are treated. See how women are treated. See how non-believers are treated. I'm sure they'll be very respectful of our liberal ways and afford us the same tolerance we afford them since all around the world Muslim countries are bastions of liberation. And The never blow **** up, kill innocent people, start crazy wars, or any of that. What a delightful bunch! I'm so glad their faith is so prominent on earth. So much good has come out of it. Really.

So I'm full of ****? I'm not even talking about most Muslim countries. None of you can name one that isn't completely whack-o. It's by far the worst major religion earth. I'm not saying that to be hateful. It's obvious. I'm not going to pretend otherwise just to fit some kind of liberal mold.

Nobody's saying they're perfect, obviously, but when you come out with statements like "highest infant mortality rate" and then follow that up with "I don't know why" you lose credibility. Have you even considered that the mortality rate might be linked more to poverty and war than the religion? It's not as if Islam preaches infanticide, now is it? You can't blame everything bad about a people solely on their religion, no matter how you might want to.

What is your experience of Islam, anyway? Are you speaking here from a position of knowledge or just assumption? And though I may be wrong, I don't think all of Islam practices Sharia: is that not the more hardline part of it? I admit I don't know, but I feel it's unlikely every muslim lives under that kind of law, otherwise there would be no muslim women doctors, engineers, etc etc.

I'm pretty sure every terrorist attack since 9/11 has been committed by a Muslim, srry people it's just the truth. We're at war with Islam and it's time we wake up and realize it. Anybody that says they had a wonderful experience with a muslim taxi driver or something and that not all of them are bad people is a stupid platitude and anecdotal evidence which doesn't amount to shit.

It only has a greater number of Muslims than literally every other nation on earth, not sure if that fits in with the criteria.
