The hate formula explained

All I'm saying is that you don't see these heinous videos pouring out from other countries in the quantity that they do from Muslim countries where they are claiming these atrocities are in the name of their religion.

And who's pouring out these videos? Propaganda machines. People who want you to believe something. What do they get by posting those videos online? You're falling right into their trap by watching them and then thinking "Oh I guess that's what Muslims are like". Most of the extremists around the world are all politically motivated. They don't care about religion, they just want power and to police people. They just use it as a tool to brainwash people and control them. And it's really easy to recruit people when their family members have been massacred in war and they are angry. Maybe that's why there's a high number of videos.

If you don't believe that Islam is a big factor with the issue of radical Islamic terrorism around the world you're either clueless or lying.

I mean you shown me that you haven't studied the religion, rather you've seen a couple of YouTube videos and now think you are knowledgeable on the subject. So why would I be the one that's lying?

How often do you hear about Buddhists killing for Buddha

There is a genocide taking place in Myanmar by Buddhists. They are massacring women, men, and children. Do you also blame Buddhism for that? If not, then I'd really like to hear why not.

Christians cutting off head for Jesus

Ever heard of the Lord's Resistance Army?

Hindus stoning women to death in the name of Vishnu

There's tons of documented violence in India from Hindus against Muslims and Christians.

You can find extremists in any religion, ideology, or group. I don't see why Islam is being treated differently.

A big problem, is ignorance. Ignorance of what Islam is, what it teaches, how it is practiced, what Muslims believe, etc. You have shown just that. You have bare minimum knowledge of Islam based off of the media and what you read and watch online.

There is no Muslim country in the world today that is run under Islamic law. So why does what Muslims countries have any relevance? They make their laws and societies based on their cultures, not what Islam teaches.

There's a distinction between the teachings of Islam, and culture.

talking to them about so much as the consumption of pork turns into a heated debate, so you can imagine how they react to talking about gay people or even Jews.

I honestly find this hard to believe. Why in the world would a Muslim get upset about someone talking about pork...? That's just ridiculous. Is pork supposed to be some sort of kryptonite for Muslims or something?

Bottom line is, if you actually went and sat down with someone knowledgeable about islam, or learned about Islam from sources that weren't extremely biased, then you would see the flaws in your analysis of the religion.
