I'm already well-familiar with the past evils of Christianity and Judaism; last night after my arrival at my family's in the States a brief topic of conversation is, "Why We Understand Why Some People Have Hated the Jews." I said anyone who had to live with them in Biblical times sure had good reason, based on the Old Testament. And as a Pagan I can speak up one side and down the other about the evils of Christianity. But...neither of those religions is actively launching terrorist attacks. If you look at the research in that article, it shows rather a lot of support for terrorism, Hamas, laws that hate one people dear to liberals' hearts, etc. Now, maybe those surveys aren't right; I don't know. Surveys aren't the most reliable sources of information, and people will sometimes give what they think is the 'right' answer (or the ones they think will make their people look better to the rest of the world). There's just too much support for terrorism, and I keep thinking of how many times they've turned down a two-state solution. So yeah, I suspect virtue signalling. But I could be wrong.
Not convinced it's just 'a few hundred men', frankly.
