Danes feel Obama is greater than Jesus

To take offense at that statement because it does not say "*All* Muslims are decent people." is a knee jerk reaction probably caused by an overdeveloped sense of political correctness. To read into that statement any form of disrespect for Muslims or comparison of Muslims to any other group is just plain ignorant. Ignorant of logic, ignorant of meanings, ignorant of argument.

If that is how you want to read parts of this thread that is fine, but if somebody makes a statement like 'an x percentage of this group supports y' than that is not just a statement.
What I think and also Thecla does so is this is just a sum up of fuzzy numbers, that indeed can also be done for another group than muslims.
I have no affinity whatsoever with muslims, if you know me a bit I have some pretty serious issues with religion. The reason why I would (just as Richard Dawkins) maybe focus more on christianity is because that is what I know from my country, and that is what the 'religion in charge is'. Point being, blaming this on things as an overdeveloped sense of political correctness is again just silly and childish.
You keep nitpicking and (on purpose?) try not to understand the context/background of the topic (my opinion).

You must agree that a statement on the percentage of terrorism supporting muslims (I don't know who knows are can known the exact number) is not the same as a statement that oranges contain more vitamin c than apples. The statement in the first place was in previous international discussions on all the big news networks in europe and the US also used by war mongers to prove a point. You know this, I know this and the person that wrote it in this thread (was that kanrdrathe....sorry I have no time to check all the posts in this long thread) knows this. So if you keep saying it was just a statement with no other intentions than posting a fact, you can technically not be proven wrong, but let's not make fun of eachother here.



We are getting in a discussion much like the one held in Holland at the moment about a report about our involvement and support of the Iraq war. Our (christian democrat) prime minister has been lying his *** off, but that is OK if you belong to his political party. Finally the debate in parliament didnot deal with why he lied to us, but about literally disecting sentences and party politics....something that makes me feel very sick.
