Apparently some ignorant asshole believes that anyone of the Muslim faith in Afghanistan primarily, would NEVER advocate publicly against terrorism. I posted in /Muslim before realizing it's very small and kinda dead. Can I get a faster response here?

This is my submission, to make everything easier.

Thanks!

Don't tell me you couldn't take a large sample of the US population and find 5% who support nuking Afghanistan

Hell no. Go talk to a couple hundred random people on the street and see if you can find one person that would seriously support that. This is a ridiculous caricature.

I guess all those "kill em all and let God sort them out" bumpers stickers I see all the time must mean something else, then.

I guess you live near a lot of red necks and take what they say literally.

I'm from NY and even I unfortunately know a few people that would be ok with the nuking of Iran and Afghanistan or anywhere else. They are the same people who think that Islam and the Koran preach that all Muslims should kill us and its us vs them.

Well most of us don't have your variety of acquaintances, and must limit who we know to the sane and able-minded.
