....What I try to avoid doing is lumping all members of religions, ethnic groups etc together....
Sounds reasonable Larry, but now it reads like you're validating the fringe left wing in a way that you refuse to support the so called fringe right wing. You doubled down on the 'all religions are equal' rhetoric with the new qualifier, ethnicity.

"Equal" is YOUR word, Craig. Where did I use it? The Cubs and every other team in Major League Baseball are all Major Leaguers . . . but they're obviously not all "equal". In terms of their records, no other team is equal to the Cubs . . . this year. My point is that it's bad to generalize about members of any religion. Or any ethnic group. There are a lot more Muslims, for example, who are not terrorists than who are. Matter of fact, the percentage of Muslims who are terrorists, out of their worldwide population of over a billion, is quite small. In this country, the number of Muslims is slightly greater than the population of Chicago. Who's responsible for more murders this year . . . Muslims or residents of Chicago?? And with Orlando in the body count, this is an unusually high year for Islamist terrorist-caused deaths in this country. The most in any year, in fact, since 9/11.
Anyhow, I never said that all religions are equal.
