Not a good way to introduce a point in any argument ... it's right down there with "They say ...." To start off: Most folk know that 95% of folk don't give a flying [deleted] about shiite like this. The 5% who do care maybe "know" that the incidence of non-muslims offing muslims is fairly low ... possibly on a par with hate crimes against Jews, Gays, and abortionists. There's lots of sounding off, and all kinds of folk claiming to be Charlie Hebdo ... but shooting, (let's leave out Marines or the IDF), beheading, kidnapping, raping, blowing up things, and all that kinda neat stuff ... not too much. "Most folk" leap to conclusions based on experience or previous events. Your back issues of Beano probably mention the Oklahoma City bombing of '95 (I think) after which everyone concluded that it was a muslim terrorist act. It wasn't. But Beano from about two years earlier no doubt broke the news of the bombing of The World Trade Center. So, most folks can be forgiven for making that mistake. In short, your argument is a crock.
