Curt Schilling suspended by ESPN after tweet comparing Muslims to Nazis: “It’s said only 5-10% of Muslims are extremists. In 1940, only 7% of Germans were Nazis. How’d that go?” (ew.com)

I've heard there are 25% Islamists; that's including fundamentalists who, while don't openly commit violence in the form of warfare, are incredibly backwards on women's rights, LGBT rights, not-Muslim rights, etc.

You are suspended until further notice. ESPN

I don't think they belong in the west either.

[–]Mountainous_Dew 27ポイント28ポイント  (33子コメント)

25% might be a little low

Well over 80% of Muslims in several countries support stoning people to death for sex outside of marriage, chopping people's hands off for theft, and killing people for leaving islam (apostasy).

I would say that the Nazi comparison is fair.

[–]NoIdeaWhatImEvenDoin [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Agreed. If anything he offended terrorists. Is that really something to chastise or punish him over?

[–]khalorei [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Maybe he's being punished for offending Nazis?

You could say over 80% of Christians in the KKK believe all races should be exterminated. It has nothing to do with the religion; it's just a statistics trick.

[–]Donald_Trumpsfeld [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

80% of Christians in the KKK is a couple hundred people. 80% of Muslims in several countries is millions.

[–]DrHenryPym [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

The point is it correlates more with the grouping more than the religion.

We've made progress for civil rights here in the states, but even that was an uphill battle because of Christians. Religion is way too complicated to say that it's this definition for everyone for all of time. Nothing is accomplished with these overgeneralizations.

[–]T_Gracchus [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Yes, but it's still a misleading way to present the data.

[–]Donald_Trumpsfeld [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, how is that in any way misleading? It's a significant proportion of the world population that advocates death to people who don't subscribe to their religion.

List of journalist rags I trust more than Breitbart: MSNBC (opinion pieces bad, actual reporting seems to be on point), Fox (opinion pieces bad, actual reporting seems to be on point), The Guardian, Huffington Post, and lastly Vox.

List of journalist rags I trust less than Breitbart: Gawker Media.

It sourced what it claimed, if you can find issues with the sources please do. And it's claims seem in line with sourced stats others are posting here, such as this: http://np.reddit.com/r/news/comments/3idwwc/curt_schilling_suspended_by_espn_after_tweet/cufmbgz

Sweet, I usually avoid trying to give BB clicks. I'll check it out then. Hopefully nothing is misrepresented or taken out of context.

[–]mortalfear -2ポイント-1ポイント  (2子コメント)

I just commented on the sources in the thread you linked to. They are problematic to say the least.

[–]Mountainous_Dew 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

You mean source. You only found 1 single error in the other persons long list of sources. That somehow invalidates the rest?

[–]mortalfear -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I only looked at four of his/her sources before I got bored. One is in Arabic, which I can't read, so I can't verify what it says. I have my doubts about whether OP can read Arabic but lets give him/her the benefit of the doubt. Two of the others had major errors, and the fourth is from a completely biased right wing polling firm. After going 4 for 4 on the sources I checked, I decided this was a complete waste of time.

What do you think of Pew Research Center?

[–]chefjl [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Pew! Pew pew. Pew pew!
blows on pistol
That's what I think.

[–]mr_munnin [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Honestly, can't say I've ever read a single article by them or really heard much about them. I've heard the name, but that's about it.

Edit: Aaaannnnddd downvotes for honestly admitting ignorance. Cute.

[–]InternetSafety101 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Pew research is one of the most distinguished poll researchers in the world.

I trust finger painting weekly more than breitbart. It's common knowledge brietbart is infotaintment. Might as well reference the onion

[–]SuttonWho -4ポイント-3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Stunning—some garden-variety leftist announces he/she trusts leftist sources. Rinse and repeat.

[–]mr_munnin 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

Notice I still called them ALL rags. And Fox news leftist? Please.

[–]duston12 1ポイント2ポイント  (5子コメント)

Tell me you didn't just site Breitbart as a source of information.

[–]SuttonWho -3ポイント-2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Seems to me Breitbart regularly cites the original sources in its news stories. OF course, you may disagree with that web site's opinion pieces—but at least they are easily identifiable as being opinion pieces and not news stories.

But that's the problem with too many folks—they can't discern between news stories and opinion. For example, some dim bulbs think Bill O'Reilly or Rachel Maddow are news anchors, when both of them are commentators sharing their particular political/cultural/social biases.

[–]Dunk-The-Lunk 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

That website is pure garbage. Only a complete idiot would cite them. They have less than no credibility.

[–]Mountainous_Dew [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I just cited them because it provided muslim stats in an easy to read, and obviously sourced manner. If you can find issues with what they said, by all means lets see it. They're not credible all the time, but I can't find anything that's not credible and reliably sourced in the article. Did you even look at it, or did you just jump to conclusions while claiming others are idiots for doing the same thing?

[–]thestupidisstrong [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

[–]alderaan_never4get [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I guess this all really depends on the definition of "extremists." If we're talking about those who commit violence and terrorism, then it's closer to 10%. If we're talking about those with strict traditional values, then we're talking a bigger piece of pie.

[–]ResonantOne [スコア非表示]  (11子コメント)

And about 27% of the US's population are Evangelical Christians about which the exact same things can be said.

[–]Occams_Lazor_ [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Most of those Christians don't support gay marriage but I don't think you'll find a substantial amount who don't want women to be equals or want to execute gays

[–]Mountainous_Dew [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Or who believe leaving the religion should be punishable by death.

[–]wrathofoprah [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

Yeah and when we tell them to STFU it's all good, high five freedom. Say some shit against Islam and you're a xenophobic racist grand wizard all the sudden.

[–]BorisAcornKing [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

How did 'Grand Wizard' ever become a KKK title in the first place? It's like they were trying to get people to laugh at them.

[–]wrathofoprah [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Dude, it's like someone found a D&D Book and went balls out

Provinces - the second prescript identified the Provinces as equivalent to a county. It was supervised by a Grand Giant, assisted by four Goblins, a Grand Exchequer and a Grand Scribe, appointed by the Grand Giant

It's like an RPG walkthrough on gamefaqs

[–]particle409 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Not really. People in the US routinely say that things like executing homosexuals and oppressing women in Saudi Arabia, etc, is bad. If Schilling had compared Evangelical Christians to Nazis, he would have been gone all the same.

[–]falcoholic92 [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

You think that's a fair comparison?

[–]ResonantOne [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Is it not?

[–]toga-Blutarsky [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

I wouldn't say so. A lot may believe in some kooky shit but they're not voting to stone people to death or ban women from driving or going to school.

[–]mesropa [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

So 1% being 8 to 16 million people. That's the size of some small countries. Thats larger than all the armies in the world combined.

[–]Thewallmachine [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

You could say the same stat for Christians.
