Quote:The number of Muslims cheering an act of terrorism is not a good argument in a discussion of what percentage of Muslims condone terrorism?Maybe it is, but that's not what Eppie said.
"The point that I am making is that the number of people that YOU SAW cheering at a certain event are not a good argument here."
Furthermore, your conclusion seems to be based on what you REMEMBER TO HAVE SEEN ON TV 8 years ago. Is that scientific?
Well, what I can remember (and wiki seems to agree with me) is that there were only sightings of people cheering in a few places in Palestine. Somehow, that doesn't seem like a good representation for the entire Islam world. Also, it appears to be unsure that the people seen celebrating were actually celebrating the act of terrorism.
