Distortion by Proportion

Taj, ... The total of all school shootings in a year MIGHT equal the civilians killed by Muslims on the average day. So that comparison is off by >365 times. And the percentage of Muslims world-wide who condone jihad and suicide bombings is between 10 and 70, depending on how the quesion is worded. And major schools or sects, like Wahhabism and Salafism, both supported by billions in government money from the ME, make "Death to Infidels" official doctine, preached a mosques and chanted by muezzins five times daily over cities.

So everything's relative. And relative to everyone else, without exception, the moderate Muslim is still a demented radical, who condones and/or tacitly funds and enables mass murder and violence...
