Hillary: Muslims Have Nothing To do With Terrorism

[Mehmentum]

I think that the point she's trying to make is that most muslims are peaceful, and that Islam doesn't cause people to be terrorists.  Admittedly, this was a poor way to put it, but twitter isn't exactly the ideal medium for discussion.

There's a difference between criticizing someone's religious beliefs and a blanket condemnation of that entire religion.  Its the difference between saying 'Christians are morons' and 'Young earth creationists are ignorant and wrong'.

There is no difference between the two.

I love how you don't even attempt to back it up.

The irony of it is if you follow this logic, that a religion is horrible based on the things to worst people of that religion have done in the name of god, then literally every single religion is horrible.  That's why the atheists you guys are quoting are saying this, because the unavoidable conclusion from following this logic is that every religion evil.

If I say that there is no way Mohammed did his night journey or that he was a child raping phedophile, is that a blanket condemnation.

I honestly don't care what inflammatory things you say, free speech and all that.  What I care about is  people like you turning away thousands of people for the crimes of people completely beyond their control.

because you know which of them is ISIS and which arent.

The largest ISIS threat to the U.S. are not people fleeing from Syria, but young (mostly second generation) Muslims who already live here that are being radicalized online.  Why would ISIS go through the trouble of sending someone from Syria to the U.S when they can just get someone already in the U.S. to carry out an attack?

In this case turning away refuges would actually make us less safe, as it would increase the disillusionment that these people are feeling.
