Election Year or Fear!

[Andy_Faber]

Those who believe in Islam are not likely to be extremists any more than Catholics are likely to be *****philes…

Id LOVE to see the stats that back that up! U.K. or worldwide would be fine…

I also find your repeated singling out of Catholics a bit strange and I don’t say that as a Christian

I’m not ‘singling out Catholics’ and I have absolutely no axe to grind. It just seems to me that over the years ‘terrorism’ has always been synonymous with politics and religion. At the moment Muslims are identified, sometimes reasonably-often not, as the trouble makers and the best equivalent I could think of was the number of *****philes/abusers that were synonymous with the Catholic church throughout the first half century, at least, of my life.

I doubt statistics are available because, by definition, in both cases we’re talking about secretive, subversive and deviant behaviour.
