If you'll notice, an awful lot of those research statistics on the web page I provided are from respected polling firms such as Pew Research. If you'll look at this with an open mind, you will see the trends. I've not said that islam is all about violence. What I'm saying is you guys are being naive and thinking that the majority of them are peaceful when the facts show otherwise. As for hearing about it, do you not get the same news as I do? Even with the way the liberal media buries most of it, I see this on the news constantly. Sad to say, I'm afraid the downfall of our way of life is that we don't have the collective will to do what it takes to stop it. Islam uses force and violence to evangelize. Small contingents move into an area and as they gain momentum, then the violence flares up. Look at Dearborn, Michigan. They've gotten a 30% population stake in that city and have you not seen any of the videos from Christians who try and peacefully preach on the streets? Sure doesn't look like peaceful co-existence to me.
I'll give most everyone the benefit of the doubt (mine at least). If violence is used, it will be met .. I have no problem with that. You're making too broad a conclusion .. sort of like saying all Catholics should be mistrusted because of issues with pedophile Priests.
