9/11 was not perpetrated by Americans. No Americans were among the hijackers.
I'm glad that we can agree that a ban on Muslim's coming into this country should be considered a priority.
Nope. No agreement there.
Major Nidel was one man.
And yet he was Muslim. Not good odds considering the supposed percentage of Muslims the government says we have.

So? One person?
[/quote]Now...you are trying to claim blacks are really Islamist and that violence related to gangs, drugs, poverty, etc etc is really to be considered "Muslim" violence?
I'm asking how many of them claim to be Islamic... The rest is all you.
You're trying to make some sort of nebulous connection between African-Americans, violence in major cities and Islam in order to boost the impression that significant numbers of American Muslims are committing ideological violence in the streets. That connection ain't working.
According to Pew, the religious demographics of African-Americans indicate that only 1% are Muslim.
I doubt that... I believe the percentage is quite a bit higher.
As far as sources go, Pew has a reputable (and non-partisan) reputation. If you can find a reputable source that proves otherwise then provide it.
Repeated for clarity since your memes don't provide any sort of evidence: If you can provide evidence that a considerable majority of American muslims are committing ideological violence in our streets you might have a point.
My point is how many people have died in recent years on US soil due to Islamic ideology.
The percentage of people killed appears quite high in comparison to the supposed number of Muslims in this country.
The only reason the numbers are that high is that most of them are due to a single terrorist attack - 9/11 - committed by foreigners.
As of 2015 - the number of Americans killed due to extremist jihadi attacks in the US in the last decade: 71. There are approximately 3.3 million Muslims in the US.
Where is there even a considerable MINORITY committing ideological violence in our streets much less a majority justifying amending our constition to redefine religion in order to exclude one particular faith?
Considering that the Muslims in the US are a minority and that your minority within a minority are causing so much disturbance perhaps they start cooperating and turning the troublemakers in prior to their causing all eyes to look in their direction and the majority does make a Constitutional amendment that bans their faith from being practiced.
You're talking about a miniscule minority of 3.3 million people, to justify banning a religion and removing fundamental rights from 3.3 million people.
Your also assuming that the American Muslim community doesn't cooperate with law enforcement which is also not true.
