Your math's wrong, Dude.  Fewer than 1% of Americans are in law enforcement-- that includes clerks and administrative staff as well as officers.  Check in out, dude (http://www2.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2009/police/index.html).  Your 10% number of military is probably also high, since it includes veterans and people who no longer serve, but let's call it that.  That means that only 11% of Americans, on your way of thinking about it, are willing to kill to defend a way of life.

Next, your 12% of 60% amounts to only 7%.  Think of it this way:  if there are 100 Christians, only 60 of them read the Bible (60%), and only 12% of THEM (if I'm understanding your logic) are "extremists."  That's about 7 people.

So, again, keeping to your logic, the number of people who are willing to bear arms in defense of a "way of life" is 11%, and the number of extremists in your group is 7%.  Any way you cut it, that's a very small number, possibly less than 1%, maybe a little higher if you think that being an extremist makes you more willing to bear arms.

That's if we grant your logic, but I gotta say I don't agree with any of your underlying assumptions, Dude.  For example, I don't think it's fair to say that people who read a religious text daily are extremists.  You're assuming they take the contents literally, require the same level of belief from others, etc.  So, there's a bunch of holes there, but I thought I'd chime in just to point out that even if we grant your logic, it's not likely that 10% of Muslims want you, me, or any of us dead.

Well after you've seen that video and done a little more research I hope you see why I view them as a threat.

Although many muslims are just as ignorant as most Christians who have never even read their own bible, I realize now that most although think I'm already damned and beneath them, a number I can't say want me dead, probably out of them all only a minority would like to do the actual killing. That makes sense, Less than 10% (9.2) of the population of the US, serves in the military. People prepared to kill for freedom, Lets say there are those that would serve that wind up in prison, die, or could but dont; so we will say just 10% to be fair; add 20% because 20% of the US population are police, and US police carry guns which mean they are prepared to kill.

The other 70% are the regular joe citizens who are too afraid to kill, don't believe in it, physically or mentally disabled, or in jail or whatever. 

People are still just people. Humans. It's likely then, that we can use this equation of sorts, with muslims. The only difference is, in their religion you go straight to heaven the minute you kill someone who isn't a believer. I guess that number would increase then, perhaps. Well, I don't know it's all speculation. But for now I'll just assume that 3/10 muslims would be capable of killing.

Just out of curiosity, any dudes here that were formerly muslim?

Now lets also use this funny hillbilly math to show ignorance of religion. A study shows that roughly only 60% of Christians read the bible, and not all devoutly. That means 40% haven't even read the fucker even if they own a copy. Only 12% of that 60% read it day to day. The 'extremists'.  Okay, so lets say only 12% of muslims are extremists that know according to their religion, allah wants you to kill non believers and will reward you if you do; that means roughly 1 out 10 muslims WANTS to kill dudes.
And roughly 40% of Muslims probably don't know shit.

Opinions?

I'm pro choice within the confines of that 24 weeks although I believe it should be 19 or 20 weeks...and I know that's splitting hairs but how far back do you go? (This is the Catholics ban on masturbation all over!)

I've heard nothing about this in the UK of course.

But this is abhorrent!

The guy who made the statement "then surely the baby is the patient at this point" is bang on!

He's a serial killer no more no less and he did it for profit.

At least he's in jail forever!

Why 24 weeks? When does a human being become a human being?

here used to be a bar in Glasgow that sold a fried breakfast with a garlic and chilli Bloody Mary on the side, only on a Sunday lunchtime. No wonder it's got one of the worst health records of any city in Europe. It takes me back to the days when I could do that kind of thing and not pay the price for days afterwards

Have you ever read Irvine Welsh's (Author of Trainspotting) Acid house?

There's a very descriptive passage of a bespoke bloody Mary made by I suppose it would be fair to say a very disgruntled waitress! It's served in a swanky lawyer bar in downtown Edinburgh to a particularly obnoxious customer.

I only drink Bloody Mary's that are made with my own fair hand now!

I've read the bible through more than a few times...  maybe I'll order a Qu'ran from amazon and do the same thing so I can speak with some authority... I've read some good "takes" on it, but unless we can claim at least some familiarity with it, arguing with extremist Muslims is a waste of time.  Interpretations of sacred text is an exercise in "tit for tat". If you don't know yer shit, don't come to the table.

Example: I was good at arguing with Jehova Witnesses because I knew my bible better than all the local elders. They're a typical twist on Christianity that serves their own belief system with a re-written bible, but don't stand up to scrutiny. (Not that the bible stands up to scrutiny, but you get my drift)   

It's all about the "haves" and the "have-nots". Human pride. It stinks.
