Ben Shapiro with “reality check” explains:
The question isn’t whether Islam itself is violent? It’s what its adherents believe.
?Is radicalism in the Muslim world a tiny minority phenomenon?
We are really not talking about people who are “active terrorists”.
Terrorists draw their moral, financial, and religious support from those who are not terrorists themselves.
1.6 billion muslims in 49 different countries where they have the majority
(All Statistics from Pew Research as of 2011)
First define the term “radical”;
Radical:
- support sharia law
- blame U.S. or Israel for 911
- positive or mixed feelings about Bin Laden
- suicide bombings/targeting of civilians can sometimes justified
- honor killings of women can sometimes be justified
- support terror attacks on Israel
- want cartoonists of Muhammad to be prosecuted
. . .
Palestinian Areas (USA is sending 100’s of millions of dollars)
- 4.3 million Muslims live there
- 78% have positive or mixed feelings about Bin Laden
- 89% support terror attacks on Israel
- 89% support sharia law
- That equals 3.83 million radical Muslims in Palestinian areas alone
United States: (according to Pew Research)
- 2.6 million Muslims live in USA
- 13% say violence against civilians can be justified
- 19% said they were either favorable towards Al Qaeda or “just didn’t know”
- That’s almost 500,000 radical muslims here in the United States.
A tiny minority radicalized?
A myth that is going to get a lot of civilized people killed.

Best to attain the C&C license. I’ve been reading up on what guns are best for girls. While I have no issues with my stun gun, there does remain the minor issue (okay, so I have one) of having to come into contact with the body of a perp in order to dissuade his/her malevolent intents upon my person. My son says I must buy a .38 special. I think it would be really cool to have a finger-web gun like Spiderman. I could disable, you see, and at the same time be humane. Any recommendations, sweet Texas?
Kells,
Obtain professional instruction!
Professionals will instruct you in how to choose whether or not you really should purchase a firearm. (not everyone has the proper mindset or is willing make the minimum investment for owning a firearm) Then, if you do choose to purchase a firearm; you will learn how to choose the appropriate firearm for your intended uses.
Florida has numerous high quality places for instruction as “shall issue” CHL laws started in Florida.
Here are a couple high quality links to begin your research:

Texas, a girl at the theatre teaches the C&C course, so I will take it from a fellow thespian. (The “other” good-hands people.) Thanks for the links as well as the sage advice.
It is good to take it twice from two different people. You get perspective. Also, Self defense courses cover different issues that CCL classes don’t. BOTH would be advisable maybe with your son too.
B.’s brother teaches self-defense. Unfortunately, I’m very certain he would have to defend himself from me! I don’t see the point in that song and dance as I feel my gut reaction would override anything learned.
I must echo what Texas says.
I am all for Women ( girls ) being armed and trained. My wife and girls are. But you have to purchase based on very specific reasons and situations. And these are NOT toys. Nor “warning devices”. You don’t draw to disable, dissuade or be humane. You draw to stop the threat. Period.
38 Special can have quite a kick in something like an LCR, and not a huge accuracy over even modest distance. You need to be comfortable, competent and confident with the weapon you choose.
At this stage, training on your Stun Gun would be highly recommended. They also can be very effective when using accurately and with confidence.
Use Texas’ links.
Don, what the hello is an LCR? Oh, and boys are the only ones who believe guns are toys…..probably why they collect them faster than Lego sets………….jes sayin
Kells,
There is an old marine corp. verse…
“This is my rifle, this is my gun,
This is for shooting, this is for fun, . . .”
I heard that in my head as the hymn: This is my story, this is my song. I don’t think that’s the name, but that’s what came to my mind. Do the marines sing that to that hymn? (If not, they should as it works perfectly.)

38s do come larger which are more accurate. And many woman can handle larger than they think.
Replace they with I in the sentence, and you’re spot on.
You Da Gal Babe …. ;- ))
There are encouraging signs too !
Europeans marching against islam ! This will grow. And will grow in America once America begins to “grow a pair” , and fight Sharia and anti-Christian actions like in Dearborn Michigan.
