I do think there is something of a point to make in observing the reactions of Americans in terms of trying to magnify the “otherness” of certain people (as the root of a problem), and how that leads to discrimination against all of those “others”.
So, if a white christian bombs an abortion clinic, or a civilian area is bombed by the Irish Republican Army, or Ted Kaczynski sends mail bombs out – very few Americans start saying (or implying) that white people are somehow more likely than others to set off bombs. But whenever an Islamic terrorist does so, or plans to do so, it’s simply written off as “See? Muslims are dangerous! Most of them hate America and want to harm us!”
Yes, there is a strong element of racism/xenophobia when the actions of “someone like me” have specific, independent reasons not attached to their likeness of me and the actions of “someone unlike me” have reasons attached to their unlikeness of me.[/quote]
I like the FBI stats were 7% of the terrorist acts committed in the US were committed by extremist Jews, compared with 6% committed by extremist Muslims.
The very same people who would cry foul when anyone accused Jews of being particaulary violent have not problem with turning around and doing the very same with Muslims.
Oh well. [/quote]
And your source is…?

Now if we also added envoronmentalists and communits that justs happened to be Jewish, like we all know some people would in the case of Muslims, the only possibkle solution is an immediate attack on Israel.
Bottom of the page. [/quote]
The FBI source material dates from 1980 to 2005; hardly a contemporary tally.
And the “Jewish” terrorist acts so listed are from two groups, JDL/JDA. The last such entry was in 1986.
(If one reads the text from 2002-2005, there is perhaps one nutcase of Jewish origin among the many other examples.)
As for “envoronmentalists (sc) and communits (sic) that justs (sic) happened to be Jewish,” I would presume you must have some special talent to divine their origins.
It seems that “Loonwatch” has found its audience.

I just knew that there would be apologists for Jewish extremism.
Just wait until they make you wear a Kippa and impose the Halakha on you.
Did you know that Jewish courts are already established in parts of Europe, effectively establishing a separate legal system based on the Jewish faith?
I dont care if you are blind to this clear and present danger due to your lefty-pinko-commie-pacifist bias, this threat obviously must be stopped by any means necessary!
And dont get me started on Israel as a terror sponsoring state.
If you are still in denial I can quote Jewish scripture regarding their long and violent past and rabbis calling for the killing of Mulsims and other gentiles.

Ah, more of the Austrian “new math,” I see.
5X = 110x ???
“Ah, what the hell; it’s all the same.”[/quote]
It is, if x i.e. threat posed by both is exactly zero.
I know that is not how American math works, especially if Pentagon and defense budgets are at stake, but in the rest of the known universe it works just fine.

Nobody is telling you what is and what is not a threat to that city you call a country.
How about you let America decide what is and is not a threat to itself.
Austrian views of what is good for the world have proven in the last century to be almost laughably catastrophic anyway . [/quote]
That is neither here nor there, if we had won we would have written your schoolbooks and you would sing an entirely different tune.
Not that you have needed us to demonize an entire people to justify violence against them and etsblish a surveillance state and immense executive power, you were perfectly capable of doing that on your own.
