As a non-ethnic-Englishman living in London, I resent the implication that we are bad.

Speaking of Harris, I've been catching up on my podcasting and this episode came up.

(skip past advertisements to about 7-minute mark)

The Joe Rogan podcast is pretty dope, btw. I enjoy it.

I was referring to the general population of Muslims in the US/UK when I replied.

I guess I misunderstood your initial post. I see your point, but comparing the numbers of those who serve in the nation's military with those of who have joined IS is a bit...er, can you help me out here?

Those comments in the article you posted, lol. Talk about a bigoted bunch.

I just read on Fox News that an estimated 500 UK Muslims went to Syria to join ISIS. Approx. 250 of them came back to the UK. Riddle me this...why the hell did the UK let them back? How many ISIS recruits are unknown in the US?

Fox News, eh

Yeah, it's largely just xenophobia. I didn't mean to say that humongous swaths of Muslims are going off to join ISIL, but several hundred still seems problematic, and while a statistical minority, it's disingenuous for apologists to downplay it.

Let's say that anyone who believes in a man-made religion which centers on Human beings is completely deluded. Anyone who believes in a sentient all-knowing and powerful human-like God needs psychiatric therapy. Which disqualifies must Europeans and Americans.

There is no god. There are no god's chosen people. There is no heaven or hell.

There is only Gravity, Entropy, and Dark Matter.

Note: But if you must, Believe in Me. For I Am 'God'
