A few examples does not make me wrong. That IS the whole point. There are a few examples.

Yes it does. I suggest you re-read the thread. What I said was that every major religion has extremists. That statement doesn't claim that every member of the religion is an extremist but rather that there is at least one that acts in an extreme way. And what I said is in fact true. As the links point out. Even a "few examples" proves my point. And disproves your disagreement with me.

How man religions are there? So, see, a few examples does not back up your statement.

What part of "but every major faith in the world" did you not understand?

I already asked you in an earlier message to clear up what you are meaning by faith. Potato potato. You're boring me now. :)

I said "major faith" and where exactly did you ask that? And what exactly do you think "major faith" means?

It means different things to different people which is why I asked, referenced above. For example, some people say Christianity is a faith or a religion. And it is. However, there are 1000s of Christian religions (Catholics, Mormons, Methodist, Baptist, etc, etc). It just depends on how the word is being used. So, again, if you are saying that there are only a handful of major religions, meaning all Christian ones rolled up into a single entity, then yes, I would agree that it has some nuts in it. But if you are referring to each of the individual Christian religions, for example, then no, I would disagree.

Each of the major Christian denominations have extremists who have committed acts of violence in the name of god.
