That's not what Qur'an 8:65 said!!

Dear "Infidel":

Let's see what Qur'an 8:65 REALLY says, shall we?

008.065
YUSUFALI: O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people without understanding.
PICKTHAL: O Prophet! Exhort the believers to fight. If there be of you twenty steadfast they shall overcome two hundred, and if there be of you a hundred (steadfast) they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are a folk without intelligence.
SHAKIR: O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand.

Now compare that with what you've said here:

"1 bad white male is equal to or worse than 1000 bad Muslims. Aya 8:65"

Now is my brain in a blender or did you just lie here? I see absolutely no similarities between your description of 8:65 and what 8:65 just said here, according to 3 translations. Let's see what others have to say, shall we? I can't believe that someone like you would be this misleading...but then again, you're the one who unabashedly calls himself (or herself) an "Infidel".
