30% of conservative christians believe that America is a christian nation
that our laws should be based on the bible (including criminalizing homosexuals, atheists, wiccans)


what better way to TERRORIZE people than by CRIMINALIZING them....


making it LEGAL to arrest and execute non-believers and sinners....

THAT is EXTREME terrorism

Even if it were true, how the hell would anybody be able to provide verifiable evidence to prove the claim?

What do you think it is? 1%?

 

[theDoctorisIn]

What do you think it is? 1%?

Did you watch the video?

What do you think it is? 1%?

Didn't watch the video, didja?

 

[Revere]

One half of one percent?

 

[Revere]

It must be some number.

What do you think it is?

 

[xotoxi]

It must be some number.

What do you think it is?

I don't have a guess personally...but I'll go with what the expert estimated in the video.

0.1%

 

[theDoctorisIn]

It must be some number.

What do you think it is?

Well, in 2009 there were 11,000 terror attacks, worldwide.

If each of those attacks invovled 100 people each (hint: they didn't), that would be a total of 1.1 million terrorists.

Which is about 0.08%.

 

[Revere]

Wow. That's a lot.

 

[xotoxi]

Wow. That's a lot.

Yes it is.

But not as much as Beck's guess.

 

[Revere]

But still a lot.

 

[xotoxi]

But still a lot.

But not as much.

 

[RadiomanATL]

Math and Beck are not on speaking terms.

 

[Revere]

1/1000 is not a lot?

 

[xotoxi]

1/1000 is not a lot?

It is much less than 1/10. No?

 

[xotoxi]

Math and Beck are not on speaking terms.

Sometimes we make estimates.

Othertimes, we makes guesstimates.

Beck makes fearstimates and bigotstimates.

 

[RadiomanATL]

Depends on what it is compared to.

Compared to the bloodthirsty lunatics in other religions? Yes. Thats a lot, and a higher percentage in my unresearched opinion.

Compared to the total number of adherents of Islam? Compared to other threats to our lives? No, notsomuch. I'm not going to be checking under my bed for an fatwah declaring boogeyman anytime soon.
