The Toxicity of Islam in America
mangoflush made the mistake of asking me, probably not expecting an answer:
Name one incident where a fundamentalist muslim has killed an American on US soil after 9/11 (with a credible news source).
Wait. That's too easy. Name ten. ;)

Which led me to do some research, and the results of that research actually shocked me, even though I had heard of the vast majority of these cases myself. I'd just never added it up, that's all.

6/25/2006 USA Denver, CO 1 5 Saying that it was 'Allah's choice', a Muslim shoots four of his co-workers and a police officer.
7/28/2006 USA Seattle, WA 1 5 An 'angry' Muslim-American uses a young girl as hostage to enter a local Jewish center, where he shoots six women, one of whom dies.
10/6/2006 USA Louisville, KY 4 1 In an 'honor' attack, a Muslim man rapes and beats his estranged wife, leaving her for dead, then savagely murders their four children.
2/13/2007 USA Salt Lake City, UT 5 4 A Muslim immigrant goes on a shooting rampage at a mall, targeting people buying Valentine's Day cards at a gift shop and killing five.
1/1/2008 USA Irving, TX 2 0 A Muslim immigrant shoots his two daughters to death on concerns about their 'Western' lifestyle.

11/5/2009 USA Ft. Hood, TX 13 31 A Muslim psychiatrist guns down thirteen unarmed soldiers while yelling praises to Allah.
That is 51 killed in 27 separate attacks. I remember some of these being reported when they happened in the mainstream media: I will gladly locate a mainstream media source for any of them which you like.
Now, consider that there are roughly 100 times as many Christians as Muslims in America. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States) If we assume the same percentage of each to be "fundamentalist," the equivalent degree of terrorism required for one to consider Christianity as toxic as Islam would be 5100 killed in 2700 separate attacks for religious motives.
Needless to say, no such wave of Christian fundamentalist religious terrorism over that eight-year period, or indeed any eight-year period within the last century, can be found.
I have known for some time that Islam is the Religion of Death. What I hadn't realized was just how lethal it is, even in America -- where it is probably less lethal than in any other country with a significant Muslim minority.
9-11 Quarter to the Foe!
