133. "Satire"
like any other form of humor (and beauty) is in the eyes and ears of the beholder or reader. I got the OP's point right out of the box, and did not read anything into the piece that demanded that I take the "statistics" at face value. I immediately recognized the obvious exaggerations, and found humor in them.

There is definitely an anti-Islam mindset in this country, and is mainly coming from those who fervently believe that the United States of America was founded as, and remains, a fundamentalist "Christian" country.

The very percentages that you point out (small number of Muslims vs. large number of Christians) belie your argument that Muslim fanatics carry out a disproportionate number of "terrorist" attacks in the US.

Chill out, and try to have some fun dude -- it's Saturday...;-)
