And nowhere in that post was there an indication that Katz believed anything to the contrary;
but even if there had been such an indication, given that 87% of Syrians are Muslims, it would have been an understandable and forgivable overlooking of a minor statistical blip on the scope.
Generally speaking, Americans don't do 'subtle'... ditto for 'nuances'... with respect to foreign policy.
But, even though we don't pay attention to nuances, our B52s tend to smooth things over.
There aren't 120 million Muslims trying to kill us
unless you have some sort of hard data to prove that you didn't just make it up. Simply saying 1% may sound nice to you, but it is pretty meaningless without supporting evidence.

This is doubly-true for populations in the thrall of an alien political-religious belief-system such as Islam.

As may very well happen in Syria in the not-too-distant future.
1% is 12 million, I slipped a decimal.
And there are probably closer to 70 million actively engaged in lesser Jihad.

Poll reveals 40pc of Muslims want sharia law in UK - Telegraph
A Year After Iraq War | Pew Research Center for the People and the Press[Q
The 1% if from you appeasers - the constant refrain that "99% of Muslims want to live in peace."
You didn't even know that Shiites generally don't consider the bukhari and Muslim collections to be authoritative, or even that there were different schools of jurisprudence within Islam. That's a pretty big gap.
All Syrians aren't Muslim. Just FYI.
Most Shiites do considere al-Bukhari to be authoritative.
All Syrians aren't Muslim. Just FYI.
Massive Jewish and Hindu populations, huh?
Doesn't "alter" it, no. The word is "contradict".
You're trying to have it both ways. On one hand, Islam is evil and ergo inescabably makes its adherents evil. On the other hand "90%" are not evil, but "decent people".
Apparently the evil isn't working 90% of the time -- even in the vast comic book of your head.
Even sillier, you're trying to compare a political movement with a lifespan of a decade in a single central European country with a multicontinental religion of 1400 years. There's no basis for that comparison except as a stretch to trigger a harebrained hair-on-fire conspiracy theory fueled on nothing but vague emotion.
There is an instructive parallel with the NSDAP and Islamophobia, but it's got nothing do inherent character. It has everything to do with the dishonest demagoguery tactic of identifying a scapegoat group (Jews, Muslims, name your poison) and proceeding to demonize it. With exactly the kind of swill you just spilled here.
It's been spilled before. Trying economic times tend to grease that process. We saw this movie before; we already know how it ends.
The problem that we have here is that you keep referring to Islam as a singular thing, when it has already been established that it isn't.
The fundamental assumption of your model is incorrect.
But let's delve into the specifics of it: What exactly do you see in Islam itself that is incompatible with being an American, and what do you base that belief on (aka source it please)?
Depends on the beliefs of the individual Muslim. Muhammad himself had allies who were unbelievers though.

While your tact is dishonest, it is at least not as jaw-droppingly stupid as the approach that Pogo and the other termites are programmed to take.
Noticed that, did'ja? Yeah, I formed a similar impression, and fairly quickly.
I was tempted to add Westerners and/or Americans to the List, but decided to hold off 'cause the jury's still out on that one - barely.
So they are "enemies", are they?

Too true. We're reminded of that every time a thread like this comes along.
I'd have to observe, B52s don't really do "subtle" or "nuances" either.
He seems under the impression that every single refugee that would be transplanted here from Syria would be a Muslim. Statistically speaking that doesn't make much sense.
So, please cite from one of the many versions of the Koran where the Kafirum are to be left in peace to rule their own lands as they please?
Christian.
