Ed Koch: Most Muslims Aren't Terrorists -- 'But There Are Hundreds Of Millions Who Are' (VIDEO)

Is he senile?

Is Koch on crack?

First off: there are 1 billion plus Muslims in the world.

Second, if there were "hundreds of millions" who are terrorists, there wouldn't be an America right now. Or a Europe. Or a Jew left on Earth.

Typical New York hick.

You Might Be A Terrorist If…
1. You really don’t have much use for a tanning bed
2. You own or work in a convenience store / gas station
3. You or any of your relatives live in Detroit
4. You pretty much hate pork chops
5. Christmas isn’t a big deal where you come from
6. You like your women a little on the hairy side
7. You happen to think Al-Jazeera rocks
8. When marriage counseling doesn’t work, stoning is always an option
9. There are no top buttons on any of your shirts
10. When the government’s not threatening to water-board you, they’re trying to hire you as a translator.

Most homosexuals are not racist bigots but hundreds of millions of Ed Kochs are.

As far as America is concerned, terrorism didn't exist before September 11, 2001, and all terrorists are invariably non-white. Ted Kaczynski and Tim McVeigh, they were just misguided.

So, according to Koch here, at a minimum 3 out of every 20 muslims are terrorists.

In light of Koch's liberal use/abuse of statistics: Will Mike Bloomberg follow the path to insanity that his predecessors (RG & EK) have?

Might this have been an innocent slip of the tongue? He said, "But there are hundreds of millions who are." Maybe he meant to say, "But there are hundreds of MUSLIMS who are."

If you read that sentence in the context of the entire quote, it seems possible, even probable:

"Of course the vast majority of Muslims, there are [one billion] 400 million, are not terrorists. But there are hundreds of Muslims who are."

If you want to gag at outlandish hypocrisy when it comes to Obama's counter-terrorism policies...Look no further than this.

By the way, Koch is an idiot.

There are 1.5 BILLION Muslims on this earth, Jillian - not 400 million! PLEASE correct this TPM - it's not as though the number is arguable...

Koch, that monstrous, despicable hypocrite represents the new Nazis/christioan Taliban hybrid - the right wing christian ala Cheney/Bush: now that Jews are well protected, the hard right have moved on to the other aspect of anti-semitism: Muslims.
They dress it up as this that and the other, but we all know terrorism has nothing to do with this hatred and willingness to commit another holocaust.
Via their anonymity online, many say how they truly feel within theselves - and when it comes to peope who agree with Koch, what is inside is festering hate, ignorance, fear and violence.
They want to kill, lash out, and exorcise their intense self hatred by victimizing an entire people - just like the Nazis did.
The vast majority of republicans and right wingers(none of which are conservatives anymore) actually, seriously believe that ALL 1.5 billion are terrorists, or they want to be. On numerous occassions have I seen the advocacy of 'nuking' every last one.
America's 'christian' hard right have become the new Nazis - we fought against exactly what they represent in WW2, yet the power they have now is to me, utterly terrifying.
They have all but declared a REAL war against Democrats too: by declaring that the fight against Dems will be togher than the 'war in terror', and many other variations of th theme we have heard over recent days, I have no doubt that at least one Glen Beck fan will take this as an explcit instructions to do what they can in the war against Democrats: gun them down. I have no doubt we will see it this year.

He's like 85. Give him a break.

Can someone please remind me why anyone pays a whit of attention to what Ed Koch, known douchenozzle, thinks about anything?

We are at war with Iraq.

First, the quote in the story needs to be corrected, because he says that there are 1 billion, 400 million Muslims, as in 1.4 billion Muslims.

The problem is religion. People should read Sam Harris' book "End of Faith." In it, he talks about a worldwide survey of many Muslim countries. The question asked was something like, "Would you always, sometimes, rarely, or never condone the killing of innocent civilians in order to defend Islam?" The results were shockingly high, even in "moderate" Muslim countries like Egypt, and they didn't even poll countries like Lebanon.

The problem is religion. If one sincerely believes that Christians and Jews will go to hell and be tortured with fire for eternity, they probably see themselves as being compassionate and trying to help non-believers out by trying to convert them. Furthermore, since the Koran teaches that Muslims will be greatly rewarded in heaven for fighting for Islam, the results of the aforementioned survey aren't surprising.

He claims to be a Jew. Can he prove it? I doubt it. Please consult the official list of Jewish Persons and see if he is on it, before you condemn him to jewdicity.
And many, many people fake circumcisions, so that's no proof.
Yup, since we Jews have made a few dollars, everybody wants to be one. Oh, Koch can claim all day and night he's Jewish, but he can't prove it. I wanna see the proof from this wanna-be.
