You win. Muslims are our biggest danger. Their fundies are more dangerous than our fundies. Lets declare a holy war, pick up our bombing in pakistan and put all arabs in camps. That should help.
Maybe they just have more faith and we should turn to our holy books for answers on how to fix this problem.

Oh noes, the straw man attack!
The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person’s actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position. This sort of “reasoning” has the following pattern:
1. Person A has position X.
2. Person B presents position Y (which is a distorted version of X).
3. Person B attacks position Y.
4. Therefore X is false/incorrect/flawed.
This sort of “reasoning” is fallacious because attacking a distorted version of a position simply does not constitute an attack on the position itself. One might as well expect an attack on a poor drawing of a person to hurt the person.
Congratulations you have just used a losing argument, hereby proving your inability to debate the facts.
Still, I’m glad you admit I’m right. However, I do not advocate more war. I would just like people to be aware of the motivations of our enemies. Isn’t that the key to winning a war? Because I don’t see us doing that until we understand our enemies a little bit more.
