Where are you located, and what about the other 1/4 of the population?

That's the first time I've ever seen a sign like that and, like most here, I travel extensively. Btw, it's grammatically incorrect.

More generally, Muslims mostly say that suicide bombings and other forms of violence against civilians in the name of Islam are rarely or never justified, ...In the United States, a 2011 survey found that 86% of Muslims say that such tactics are rarely or never justified.

Hence 14% American Muslims say suicide bombings are justified.

That isn't how statistics work. Do you know what the others answers were? How many chose not to answer?

Hey CBreezy, aren't you supposed to be praying right now?

Btw folks....the thread title....

Funny how leftists have become habituated to calling anything people disagree with them on a "phobia" isn't it? Like they aren't afraid of anything...

Trumpphobia, Climaphobia, Christianphobia, PledgeOfAllegiancephobia, PrayerInSchoolphobia, Heterophobia, Oilphobia, etc, etc, etc.

Fair enough. What could possibly be an answer you'd be okay with?
Rare/Never-86%
Sometimes justified-1%
Always justified- 1%
No Answer- 12%.
Is that better? Great. 2.75 Million and only 55,000 approve of suicide bombings. I will sleep better now.

I'm going to give the kid the benefit of the doubt and say this wasn't intentionally done as a PR stunt, but I'm also going to say that waiting until you've boarded a plane to call someone in an ISIS controlled country and have a really animated conversation in Arabic is a very poor idea.

Sometimes we willingly subject ourself to increased scrutiny to use services provided by companies, this sounds like one of those cases. Everyone appears to have acted conservatively from the safety/security standpoint yet fairly and open minded by listening to his side of the story and allowing him to continue on his way, and issuing him a refund.

That's like saying a black person shouldn't walk through a white neighborhood.

I'm glad you brought that up, 80.

Funny how leftists are all about organizing and marshaling resources to stop and prevent Christian prayer, displays, etc...protesting, demonstrating, launching lawsuit after lawsuit...

...and they go out of their way to insult Christians. (like you do, 80)

Yet they demand tolerance for Muslims and are offended by anyone who doesn't show it.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking.




Here's a little hint for you lefties......when you start showing tolerance and respect for the native religion of the United States of America, which the vast majority of Americans express a belief in, maybe you'll have a leg to stand on when you demand tolerance for Muslims.

Until then, the only thing to do is laugh in your face and point out how disingenuous your arguments are.
