======================

That's a common fallacy. There is no international organization of murderous spouses. Bus drivers do not go to work with the intent of running down people. Airline companies don't conspire to kill people (though they might through neglect or greed). And so on. 

===========================

Let's go back in time for a bit. In the 80's the U.S., Saudi Arabia and Pakistan cooperated to defend Afghanistan from the Soviet Union. Then the U.S. defeated Saddam, preserving Kuwait and the Gulf States. While self-serving, U.S. policy was protective of Arabs and the Muslim world. Which was taken positively by Muslims, except for one particular group. Islamic fundamentalists were deeply offended by the presence of U.S. troops stationed in Saudi Arabia, which in their eyes made Christians protectors of the Islamic holy places. Which is a big no-no. For that and other reasons, Osama bin Laden, a former ally of the U.S., plotted the 9/11 attacks. 

In essence, all this terror came from the U.S. helping out the Muslim world, but in a way that did not comply with the requirements of Muslim fundamentalists. Which in the annals of history, is beyond crazy. 

If I had the power of, let's say, superman, I can assure that in the world would be of short supply of religious material.

Maybe that is why I love Hulk, I would probably be a lot like Maestro.

I would not accept living in a world where people Kill in name of religion beliefs.

No sir.

Some of the most brutal repression of LGBT people is done under the banner of Christianity.

-------------------------------------------

Yes, this is why in nearly every majority Christian country in the world, same sex marriage is legal, while in nearly every majority Muslim country in the world, homosexuality receives a death penalty.

Silly moral equivalence is silly.  Though I have to admit, using gay rights as an argument that Islam isn't so bad is definitely a power move. 

Again with the false equivalences. If you want it to be fair, compare apples to apples. 

ISIS may have already killed far more Middle Easterners than America has. 

When America conquered Iraq and bits of Afghanistan, we knew when to stop. We tried to create infrastructure and democratic governments. Incompetently and corruptly, but we tried. We spent upwards of a trillion dollars, lost thousands of soldiers, and got nothing back.

When ISIS took over, the barbarity didn't stop. Entire villages were wiped out for being the wrong race, religion, or sect. Women and children were enslaved and sold as sex slaves. Hostages were beheaded and burned alive on camera. And that still wasn't enough. They inspired and organized attacks inside France and other European countries that wanted nothing and had nothing to do with the Iraq war. 

Yeah, there is a war going on between the West and the Middle East. Bloody hands everywhere. But what the hell did tiny little countries like the Netherlands or Sweden do to deserve ISIS wrath, other than shelter and accept their refugees? 

Apparently we all look alike to the terrorists. Maybe they mixed the countries up, the way you mixed the Netherlands up with a country that didn't participate in the Iraq invasion. 

As long as Westerners assert their right to not bother differentiating between Muslims, we can't claim a high ground when Muslims don't bother differentiating between Westerners. 

According the UN, ISIS kills approximately 10,000 people a year. As of 2013, victims of the Iraq war exceeded 500,000. That's on us. ISIS are monsters, yet they have a way to go to match our butcher's bill. 

The United States did not "know when to stop." The United States planned to serially topple unfriendly Middle East governments; Iran was next on the list before Iraq became a quagmire. 

Who gives a fuck about the money we wasted half-assing infrastructure construction? The United States destroyed the infrastructure, then stood back and let it be destroyed some more. And remember, a goodly amount of those trillions of dollars was paid into American pockets. 

During the primary campaign, all but two of the Republican candidates called for relaxing the rules of engagement in favor of higher civilian casualties. Now Trump is president, and sure enough the United States is killing more civilians again, like the heroes we are. And there's that $110 Saudi arms deal we're so proud of this week. The Unite States is committed to being a force for instability and violence. 

It remains ridiculous for Americans to demand notarized apologies from every single one of the world's 1.5 billion Muslims whenever a mall explodes, while in answer for our own crimes Americans bleat about good intentions and whine, "Why do they hate us?"

No need to apologise - - I wasn't disagreeing with the wider premise of your argument. In fact, I quite agree. My small pedantic point was simply that death by frozen urine may be more urban myth than reality.

Your argument that the odds of death by terrorism are small enough that we shouldn't ruin our way of life by way of fear is valid.

When a group I'm associated with does something I disagree with, let alone something terrible, I make it publically known that I disagree with it and why.  If its terrible enough, I disassociate.

That's all I've ever expected from Muslims.  I haven't gotten it.
