Problem with this argument is that, with islam, it is not only fanatics who are a threat, it is also the mainstream, who wish to form a parallel culture, based on religion, in countries which have at the core of their existence the separation of church and state, not to mention gender equality ...
One could apply the same argument to the Roman Catholic Church: it is only a few peadophile priests who are giving the whole church a bad name. Funny though, I don't think I've come accross this argument on AccyWeb.
And this "very small minority" seems to be stirring up a lot of feces in the world. I seem to remember that a lot of Germans brought up this argument after WWll ... the nazis were only a small minority ... Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Goebels, Borman, Mengele, and a half dozen others ... but they worked damned hard.
And Jaysay, if I get red korma for this, I will be sure to share it with you
And I'll even get a nice white whine to go with it ... Canadian, of course.
