180. It's implied, you keep saying the tiniest of a tiny amount of Muslims

Maybe I just need to explain your numbers are wrong-

Polls in the UK, in Germany, in France, show that anywhere from 10-25% of the Muslims in those countries approve of ISIS and approve of attacks-

And yes, their religious leaders do need to denounce it. Just like people here wanted Christians to denounce shit like the Charleston church shooting.

What ISIS is doing is WRITTEN in their holy book, they are literally following it. Should I post passages people here usually ignore? Christians for the most part stopped literally following their holy book hundreds of years ago. Now the vast majority just give it lip service.

This is why I ask the religious here, Hey, you going to go out and shoot your neighbor for working on Sunday? Never get a response. Because they don't literally follow it. Because deep down they know it is thousands year old mythology, and most of it is, well- BULLSHIT.
