I did not say that all Muslims are evil. I said that 1 out of 5 people in the world are Muslim and 4 out of 5 wars are Muslim. I also say that no other people enjoy dressing their small children as suicide bombers as do the Muslim arab mothers do here.

Really? Ever hear of the Children's Crusade? Or child soldiers?
And could you run down what Muslim wars you're talking about, and who the other side is (because it takes at least two sides to conduct a war).
Fanatical ideology is a bitch. That said, here are three things to consider:
1. A strong force invades your country with aircraft and tanks. You have rocks and IEDs. Do you worry about your enemy's sensibilities if you believe the right thing to do is to resist?
2. If a condition of suicidal despair is created in a person, and you can make them believe their child will only face pain and suffering here, but have rewards and peace in heaven, what would stop said person from turning their child into a human bomb?
3. Do you really think that any mother in such a state "enjoys" the situation?
This is why I hate manipulators and propaganda.
US of A attacking Iraq because a Saudi, believed to be hiding in Afghanistan, organized terrorist attacks in the US, is not a Muslim war, silly.
The biggest* war to date, WWII was instigated by a Christian nation.
Children in my country dress up as witches (the "old warty crone" type) on Maundy Thursday and run around in small packs giving Happy Easter-cards to the neighbors and receiving candy in return. Or they did, before Halloween took over a few years ago.
Btw, how do you dress up as a suicide bomber? I thought you should be as inconspicuous as possible, so that you could sneak in the bomb among people before igniting it.
(* Didn't want to use the word "greatest" about a war.)
I did not know wars had religions. Those that do, yes, but wars themselves? That's something new.
I like how he thinks that since the countries that Muslims were/are in were invaded, IT MUST BE THEIR FAULT!
OK, it was Austria's fault WW2 stated. And all the other places Germany invaded. Germany wasn't at fault at all.[/sarcasm]
I also say that no other people enjoy dressing their small children as suicide bombers as do the Muslim arab mothers do here.
Funny thing is that people here in the U.S. was saying the same thing about Vietnamese women back in the 60s.
The fact that you're allowed to say such things is a huge luxury, but has it occurred to you that there are countries on this earth where you cannot say what you want, and where the things you take for granted do not exist for everybody?
You have to believe that if they had robots or tanks or better than 1930's-equipment, they'd use it instead. But they don't.
Children are easily manipulated and lack either the self-awareness to understand their actions or the strength to fight back. They are very useful in a guerrilla war like this because they can easily be used to scar the invading forces, both emotionally and physically.
In a world where you have the choice between your child starving to death, or your child dying painlessly to be in heaven, which would you choose..? It's not a situation anyone would wish to be in.
4 out of 5 wars are Muslim
Wrong.
no other people enjoy dressing their small children as suicide bombers as do the Muslim arab mothers
Also wrong. The group that has been responsible for most suicide bombings is the Tamil Tigers and they're secular.
It is a sad fact that today Islam is in an extremely violent phase. Even so, that is declining (albeit slowly).
Violence has been on the decline world-wide for a long time, and the decline speeded up dramatically when the USSR folded and ceased to support so-called "national liberation movements".
