> then i preceded to ask if that same logic applied to muslims who commit terrorism
This is really neither an appropriate nor a relevant comparison. Many things you could choose, this wasn't it. Terrorism isn't a cultural practice, and suggesting as such is a bit damaging.

Need to start using the appropriate name for congestion pricing - it's "road use tax."
What a scam this is going to be. Plus, after all the costs to manage it, it's going to be a fraction of the amount they expect it to generate.

> that should go without saying for you people
Ummm, "you people?" Who are you referring to?
> islamic extremism is a cultural practice tho.
You used the word terrorism originally. Extremism is very different. More accurately, I would call it conservatism, with extremism common especially in social and family matters.
Look, you won't see me defending Islamic (or any other conservative religious practices) at all. But I'm just pointing out that the comparison you originally made around terrorism as a cultural practice was wildly inaccurate. There were many examples to use, this wasn't the right one.
