Why aren't more Muslims doing anything to combat terrorism?

- There are 1.2 million front-line police officers in the United States.
- There are five million Muslims in France.

But that is a false equivalency. Black men commit over 50% of the the United States' murders and also account for over 25% of all crime, even though they represent just 6% of the population.

If we just take raw data, the number of killings last year of black men by police officers as a gross ratio was 1:11765. The number of killings last year of French people last year by Muslims as a gross ratio was 1:35211.

However, when we take away the number of unarmed shootings that were deemed justified, only 8 were deemed unlawful. The ratio changes to 1:150000.

An extremist muslim will kill you, a moderate muslim will want the extremist to kill you.

I agree with the first point however if you have someone expressing the view "to kill all westerners", regardless of whether they have acted on it or not i think its safe to say they should be removed from society in some form or another.

Also the number of staff etc that intelligence services employ is irrelevant, for example GCHQ also has around a similar number of staff yet im sure we are all being spied upon some way or another.

Disagree to both.

Freedom of speech exists in this country, people can say whatever they like. As with anything, context is important but so is ongoing behaviour. The guy who complained about delays at an airport and then tweeted that he'd "blow it sky high" was clearly joking, yet got hauled before the courts a number of times.

And no, only the paranoid would think that. It's precisely because they have so few people working there that they have to put their resources where they do the most good through focused application, rather than blanket surveillance. How the hell could a couple of hundred people even begin to look at 60 million plus people? It's completely irrational to think they could. And, what's most ironic, is the people who think they could are also the kinds to think that every government department is woefully inefficient and crap at their job....but then this one random is suddenly the most efficient organisation in the world. That point of view makes no sense whatsoever.

An extremist muslim will kill you, a moderate muslim will want the extremist to kill you.

There's a massive degree of difference between someone who has a view that you may find unpleasant and someone acting on that view.

There's also only so much that the security services can do. You can't watch everyone constantly just because they follow an IS Twitter account (for example).

People seem to have this idea that agencies like MI5 are enormous departments with tens of thousands of officers all over the country. The reality is they (MI5) barely have 5000 employees and the overwhelming majority of these will be support staff.

"Known to the police" can mean anything and is invariably taken out of context.

Where is your proof? There is no point generalising saying 'a lot of Muslims' think that and do that when you have no clear evidence to validate your opinion.

The % of the population that you said they make up is actually wrong. It's somewhere along the lines of 13%.

I did read a particularly good point being brought up, though. Whereby black communities/people were more likely to be stopped by police (biases existing post CRM -- it's bizarre to think that the biases just disappeared into thin air), ergo the police are more likely to catch criminals who are black. Then, because they have caught a disproportionately high number of criminals who are black, they put more emphasis on patrolling black areas. This then repeats itself.

It's not necessarily correct to assume that black people just commit more crime, it could be that individuals (from other race) are just not being caught or considered with as much fervour.

An extremist muslim will kill you, a moderate muslim will want the extremist to kill you.

The point I mad went over your head? Furthermore, I can't see the relevance of political correctness in what I wrote, largely because it's irrelevant. I can explain again, if you want.

Point me to the statistic, please (from an official source/stats organisation or whatnot)?

Here's a lovely 200-page report for you on what Muslims around the world think:

Is this clear enough evidence for you? Probably not. I can imagine you'll just ignore it and spew some more crap about 'generalising' and 'no clear evidence to validate my opinion'. Over 50% of British Muslims think homosexuality should be illegal but there's no point saying 'a lot of Muslims', right?
