      Russia is probably a greater risk to ISIS than western powers because Russia is propping up the government of Syria, which is in an active war with ISIS.

        I don’t think anyone on Lemmy has access to that data, and even if they did, that’s a pretty fucking narrow window to decide whether or not an argument has any merit. So this comment is either sarcasm I’m too stupid to understand, or you’re doing some massive heavy lifting to shift those goalposts

          Within an order of magnitude? You can’t give a number within an order of magnitude? There’s only 20 million Muslims in China. There’s only 9 reasonable answers (10^0, 10^1, 10^2, … ~10^8), and any answer you give covers 3. In fact, 10^0 and 10^8 aren’t really “answers” because they’re entirely dominated by the other options, so you have 7 reasonable answers.

          You fucking kidding me? You might as well have said 0, because that’s about as much good as your answer did. You made the claim, now back it up.
