Brevik was back in the news the other day. Not one of the mainstream outlets referred to him as a terrorist, but as "perpetrator" and "mass murderer". Certainly points to a certain biased out there based on nationality and ethnicity...

Someone else's words:

 

"I'll make it as simple as possible for you: there are currently 1,6 billion Muslims in the world. About 15 million of them are Jihadists of some sort. "

 

 

That is less than 1% of the worlds Muslim population...

Brussels capital is 25% Muslim. For fucks sake Europe. A quarter fucking muslim.

So?

 

Or are you conflating Muslim with Islamic extremist?

Well. It has been widely reported that a quarter of British Muslims have sympathy with the Charlie Hebdo attackers for a start.

No they didn't. That was shoddy journo work by the Sun I believe

Wording is pretty important when discussing these matters, the actual quote is "some sympathy for the motives behind the attacks". Which is a very different picture than the one your sentence paints.

Islam is incompatibe with Western society. It will be an unending struggle. The fact that the majority of Muslims are not rushing headlong into Jihad does not mean that they are at ease with the kind of lives that westerners are used to. As their numbers grow as a percentage of the total population they will seek greater change in line with their own beliefs. We have only just begun.

Some people are obsessed by religion - there is a clear trend of people becoming less obsessed. I look forward to a time when religion is as important as say the football club people support. Getting there is going to be a long struggle, but I do know Christians and Muslims who have that attitude towards their religion. It just isn't that important to them. Is there something intrinsic about Islam which will stop this happening? I don't think so, though it is going to be a long struggle against the nut-jobs who see religion as the most important thing possible.
