I doubt cowards like you would have any idea about that, though – bigoted cowards generally don’t do well in the military. How do you know I’m a coward, big boy? And how can telling the truth be bigotry? Aren’t Muslims more likely to join ISIS than the army? ---

Throwing feces like a pissed off chimpanzee isn’t telling the truth - it’s shit-slinging. You’re being called a coward and a bigot by those who have actually served, with no response but durdadurp. For your second point, [people that actually research these kinds of things disagree with you.](https://www.theguardian.com/news/reality-check/2015/dec/11/donald-trump-needs-check-facts-british-muslims-isis) But hey, keep slobbing that knob…you’ll get a reward at some point. ---

> [@Jefferson](#): > > How do you know I’m a coward, big boy? And how can telling the truth be bigotry? > > Aren’t Muslims more likely to join ISIS than the army? Your words and accusations against Muslims are both bigoted and cowardly. I think it’s entirely reasonable to call someone who says cowardly and bigoted things a coward and a bigot. And I’m unaware of any truth you’re telling – just bigoted bullshit. As for Muslims, in America there are more than 5000 Muslims in the US military. There are far, far fewer American Muslims in ISIS than in the US military. If you meant world-wide, then you’re even more comically false – there are (quite obviously) hundreds of thousands and millions of Muslims in the militaries of countries like Turkey, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, and more, utterly dwarfing the size of ISIS. So we can easily add this to another one of your cowardly, bigoted, and false statements. ---

Surely you “liberal” mugs are aware that seemingly every time a Islamic terrorist does Allah’s work in the west, his friends, colleagues and neighbours tell the world that he seemed such a nice man etc. And they couldn’t believe it. ---

That makes you a coward. Your bigoted comments do not constitute truth. Actually, there are quite a few Muslims in militaries around the world. ISIS has about 260,000 maybe. Your question about that shows your prejudice. ---

His neighbors and family said the same thing about the “Grand Wizard” who was killed by his own wife and son this last week. So, typically, do many serial killer’s family and neighbors. I’m sure Hitler’s mother would have said he was a nice boy. ---

I think Jeffrey need to learn that even among Muslims there is wide spread dissent and dislike of terrorists, there is though a most glaring exception in a recent poll, and it was among just more than half of the people polled in the west bank and the Gaza strip. I can understand why, but that does not mean that I approve. But I do remember that in most nations terrorists are not appreciated and I do remember that recently in BBC/NPR there was a report interviewing people that knew the terrorist that ran over people in Nice and killed many. Many in his native land (I think it was Morocco or Tunisia) reported not being surprised and condemned the attack, not surprised because many reported that he was an angry guy with mental issues. The feeling I got was similar to a classic Saturday Nigh Live sketch about the killer of Buckwheat, Barber of the killer: “Nice fellow, a bit strange…” Reporter: “Do you think he killed Buckwheat?” Barber: “Oh yes! definitely!..” ---

I agree, but some of the young little trolls are so cute! The ones less than about two weeks old can be fun to play with for a little while, especially when they’re exceptionally dim. But yes, in the longer term they really should be ignored if they get boring before they’re banned. ---
