Reader comment on item: Sudden Jihad Syndrome – It's Now Official
in response to reader comment: Distortion by Proportion

Submitted by Taj (United States), Feb 21, 2008 at 17:23

Sorry Brian...there's little relation - or rationale in comparing school shootings and "Muslims killing civilians" which and obscure term at best - ie, can't a Muslim be a civilian? But that's the thing with islamophobic perspectives - they hardly make sense...

By the way, "wahhabism" and "salafism" are synonymous ("or" not "and") and are not "major"...Additionally, the percentage of Muslims world-wide that condone suicide has never reached 70% and you might be curious to know that Americans favor attacks intentionally aimed at civilians more than any Muslim country other than Nigeria...

It's always a good idea to face and/or cite actual facts as opposed to engaging in emotional prejudgment...
