I have no problem with law-abided Muslim woman and men following their faith in the US. I have a very serious problem with terrorists using religion for whatever cause they might have from the IRA, abortion clinic bombing religious fanatics, cult followers like those of Jim Jones, to some militias bombing federal buildings for some warped idea of patriotism.
Easy there ... no shouting. Let's try this again.

I am not indulging in an emotional outburst. All I'm asking you to do now is not equate the propensity towards violence between the two religions. They are hugely different. One can always find an exception from which to extrapolate but anyone following the news the last 15 years or so can readily tell we have a problem with radical Islam. But don't wrap abortion clinic bombers in with truly bloodthirsty animal likes ISIS. Plus there's an issue of scale and how often that occurs. That comparison is actually more emotional than helpful IMHO.

Peaceful Muslims are welcome but, my issue with them is ... why are none of them standing up and speaking out? They would be a whole lot more welcome if they would take a stand. But I just don't see it on any scale.
