Are you offended?

ESPN has pulled baseball analyst Curt Schilling from its coverage of the Little League World Series after he sent an offensive tweet comparing Muslims and Nazi-era Germans, the network announced Tuesday.

Schilling tweeted an image of Adolf Hitler with supposed statistics comparing the number of Nazi sympathizers in Germany to the percentage of modern Muslim extremists and deleted it after a few minutes. He had posted the same image on his Facebook page earlier in the day.

In a statement, ESPN called the former MLB pitcher’s comments “completely unacceptable.” He has been removed from this week’s coverage of the Little League World Series “pending further consideration.”

Schilling has caused controversy on Twitter before. In November, he spent four hours debating the theory of evolution with Twitter users. When his ESPN colleague Keith Law confronted Schilling with the overwhelming scientific evidence in support of the theory, the network suspended Law from Twitter.

Schilling is outspoken about his political beliefs, telling a Boston radio station in November that he believed he was denied admission to the Hall of Fame because he is a Republican.

The question isn't whether or not the 5-10% number regarding the Muslim extremists is accurate. The joke is people pretending that only 7% of Germans were Nazis in 1940.

I have no idea if 7% is accurate. The point hes trying to make however is reasonable There are more religious terrorists or extremists who are Muslim than any other religion.

I dont see why we have to be politically correct. By far and large most muslims are not extremists. That doesnt change the fact that there still are too many.

Im not even a Christian. I think almost all religions are stupid. Im really pretty impartial about this. I dont even think we need to be occupying most foreign countries, and I do believe we fuel Muslim extremist behavior by our militaristic presence in those areas

The fact of the matter is, there is too many.

If muslime are so extreme why aren't they good at xgames

Muslim extremists to me are the ones doing the beheadings and suicide bombings, I don't have a % to which ones are bad but that group is no good. Why anyone would become angry over that tweet is something I can't understand. Anyone that doesn't agree and practice what they do is an infidel to them. Just like that if your not with them your against them they aren't complicated.

Exactly. Libs will defend them until their heads are sawed off.
