183. It's extremely efficient.

A propensity to murder in the name of their prophet is not the only thing that we get from islam.

We get homophobia. We get misogyny. We get backwards attitudes towards banking, eating, sex and law. It is not a small number of radical muslims who think sharia law would be a good thing. It's a shockingly large number.

Blaming the small number (in the USA) of crazed killings in the name of islam doesn't mean it's the only problem we face. It just happens to be the most visible and shocking.

In an effort to be politically correct and not to offend, we've failed to appropriately identify the actual problem and come up with reasonable and rational solutions for it.

Doing away with religion's protected status would be a good first step - but that would have to apply to all religions. Coddling people with irrational and, frankly, incredibly STUPID ideas doesn't help things.

And yes, all religions are made up of whacky and crazy ideas that are obviously false, but islam never went through the enlightenment phase that other religions did and thus it's still practiced largely in it's original form. So you get muslims doing in the name of islam what christians were doing in the name of christianity hundreds of years ago.

It most definitely is NOT the people. Muslims are not inherently violent by genetics. It's the social and religious structure that makes the violent ones that way - and that has got to change. And it won't be changed by just making it harder for everyone to get guns in the hope the super-aggressive violent ones will get caught up in the same net.
