Good point, Gig. Of course, some folks are quick to label everyone in a category with the same title/affiliation/belief system as the extremists. I see it a lot, and tend to try to encourage enlightenment where I can...but it's usually a steep uphill battle.

Funny, it only took, what, 18 people in that little red dot to kill 3000 of us.

The rest of the mathematics equation is left to the reader.

I think you are right.

It is not scientific.

I think the problem with the mosque in NY has nothing to do with science.
Just my opinion but I think the uproar is over the people in the blue area being
represented in this case by a cleric that refuses to see any of the red dot as, tactfully speaking, abnormal.
This is where the logical begin dealing with the illogical and that sends us right back to the drawing.

The diagram is wrong! Some of the 10K in the 'Red Circle' are also a subset of Americans. Also, missing are those that sympathetic to Al Qaeda, This sub-set would include Muslims, non-Muslims, Americans, and non-Americans.

You should either have more red dots to indicate other violent Muslim extremist groups with some of them touching the blue, or expand the red dot and have it partially overlap the blue. Remember the Fort Hood murders?

Too bad we can't get Israel to approve the construction of a Christian church on Temple Mount, right next to the Dome of the Rock. Then we could see the reaction from these peace-loving people.

Or build a temple there...


But this mosque is clearly an exercise in power rather than prayer.

I think that would be the smaller one on the left? The one with you and me in it.

Sidenote: I didn't make this pic.

I don't disagree with it, but the work is not mine.
