I once had a Muslim I was debating on the internet admit Islam is a 'militant' religion. There's a reason Muhammad made the cover of Military History Quarterly.
And a reason why the Middle East is almost all Islam despite arriving third among the area's major religions. It didn't become that way through any rigorous intellectual debate.

Been to Egypt and Saudi Arabia for work. But you realize the majority of Muslims don’t live in the mid-east, right? I’ve been in a number of places in Malaysia, with the greatest population of Muslims, and never felt threatened. But you can sit there in mom’s basement and freak out about the world if you want.
You should have made that 'majority' argument back when the left was screaming about the fake Muslim ban. My boss worked in Saudi Arabia for a few years, and while he never thought his life was in danger, he did fear being punished for doing the things we take for granted over here.
Sounds like Trump FanBoys ... but you see how easy it is to generalize, even when we know that generalization usually fall apart when applied to individuals? I do know that today, 1.2 billion Muslims did not try to kill me but an American housewife nearly ran me over texting and driving.
And I can say 300+ million guns didn't shoot me today, but hey, they all gotta go, right? And isn't Trump FanBoys a generalization?
If I apply generic stereotypes to Trump FanBoys, then it would be. If I am just using it to describe fans of Trump, not so much. And I support the right to own guns, so not sure why you would direct that at me ... other than attempt to generalize - which we see is inaccurate.
Muslims are fighting terrorists all over the ME for years now. Didn't you know? In fact, the whole Arab world has come out against Erdogan's Syrian adventure.
Family size goes down in the Arab world as more women are educated. Have you ever lived in or even visited any Arab country? You aren't very well informed. Cousin marriage has gone out of favor over the last 20 years .. just as Consanguinity is no longer common among Jews.
Erdogan once said - there’s no radical Islam, there’s no moderate Islam. There’s just Islam. Do you have a bone to pick with Erdogan or would you consent he knows a thing or two about Islam?
People of the Book are not infidels.. meaning Christians and Jews.. and pagans are not to be mistreated by Muslims.. Have you actually read the Koran or are you just winging it?
Considering the majority in of Muslims live outside the Middle-East, I would say he was only speaking for the people he knows. Does the Pope speak for all Christians? No.
I don't understand how you got that impression, my take was "He understands them better then most" ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯
You also don't seem to understand what Graham was saying. Please read it again. “We are fighting people who are compelled by their religious views to kill us all. They kill fellow Muslims who don’t agree with their view of Islam. They kill Christians and vegetarians, libertarians, you name it. We are in a war.” Did you see the part where he mentions that Muslims are killing each other? Is that true? Do you understand also that 'not all Muslims are terrorists'? While that's true we also have to be concerned with those Muslims who are terrorists. Agreed?
This is dishonest, Graham didn't say every Muslim wants to kill us. To deny some Muslims want to kill us is moronic.
What's the point of reading the Koran when Muslims can't even agree on what this piece of Schiff says?? Any casual observer can see that it's done more harm than good in the world and would go nowhere unless it was forced on others.
