Even when cooking the books, Gallup suggests 7% of 1.3bn Moslems were fully supportive of 9/11. That's 91m.

There's a reason normally reasonable and/or compassionate people are breaking rank and saying: this is a big problem.

It isn't because they are bigots. It's because there's a problem. And they are willing to name it. Go Tulsi!

"Former intelligence officer and noted specialist on Islamic law, Stephen Coughlin told Fox, “Rep. Gabbard is correct as a matter of history, she is correct as a matter of current events, and she is correct of published Islamic law.”"

Ah. I thought you were talking about defeating ISIS.

You notice he says "the last 13 years". If he said the last 14, it looks a bit different. Now what statistic was he avoiding by saying 13, I wonder? People play funny games with numbers.

Also, the total numbers of terrorist fatalities are similar between white supremacists and Moslems over the last "13 years". But the number of white people in the US is rather larger than the number of Moslems. So the terrorism per capita rate is not so favourable to Moslems. Indeed, even in the relatively untroubled USA, Moslem terrorism is noticeably deadly.

Of course, ISIS only just decided to export its product. So we are commencing a new cycle in the USA.

If you set aside the chauvinism, you discover that Moslems commit massively more terrorist acts than any other group around the world.

Pretending there isn't a problem with Islam-inspired terrorism is humorous. But folks will reliably shut their eyes if they have big principles to protect. Like Republicans and healthcare.
