this raises a number of interesting points

1) is this a "reasonable response"?

2) by what "standards"?

3)given that response, and considering we are told that fundamentalist Muslims are a small minority what in reality would be the statistical chance of finding that reaction?

4 is that person acting in whet is after all a criminal way a "normal response"?


I suggest that indeed it is NOT reasonable, however it IS a normal response, and that fundamentalism and violent reaction is considered right and "normal"
by the "silent majority" of Muslims

It feeds into the whole relationship of Muslims and the various "sub cultures" within islam which finds many acts from the irritating to the odious at least OK and sometimes positively either virtuous OR the attitude of " I CAN do that because......."

although different in scale and effect to the grooming gangs the attitude is the same and IMO is engendered by a primitive lack of self restraint.

However it should be pointed out that the ignorant (in the sense of uneducated) response is NOT merely restricted to Muslims, it is found across nearly ALL the abrahamic religions, and is again IMO founded on a lack of ability to ACTUALLY understand that which they profess to follow, leading to an inability to "defend the indefensible" and therefore a profound fear that their own faith both personal AND in the whole sense is inadequate.
They have BLIND FAITH and blind faith is no faith at all............... they cannot defend their ideology so when questioned or feeling threatened (in an intellectual manner) they respond with a full on aggression "destroy mode"

Fairly well agree with most of what you say

The question to really ask, is to what level and number of people act this way

I would suggest the number is lower than you perceive, which will be based on my own or your subjective view here

Otherwise you would have seen more react

So this is difficult to judge how many. Where you certainly have a point, but to what extenct of a problem is this?
