The Fascist American Empire wrote:No offense, but if you take a Buddhist monk, a Rabbi, a Catholic Priest, a Hindu, an atheist, a Southern Baptist, and a Muslim Imam; radicalize them all in their beliefs (good luck with the monk); and put them in a room together... well, which one is most likely to violently explode?
Yes, the terrorists are a lunatic fringe, but they are a very large lunatic fringe. Approximately 14% of muslims are militant/radical/extremist, and approximately 1 billion people are muslim. Therefore, a little more than 140 million muslims are extremists/terrorists. That is larger than the population of most countries. But let's also look at it like this: when the mafia was giving the FBI trouble, they kept a close watch on Italian communities, where else would you find the mafia? When we had trouble with the Westies, we searched every Irish bar in Manhattan, s they operated in Irish bars. Likewise, when fighting against a crazed Jihad, you will naturally set your sights on Muslim communities. After all, when was the last time the Dali Lama ran out of the pagoda with an AK screaming "Allāhu akbar!"? Probably never. It's not that people hate Islam, they just don't trust it.
1) All of them would become violent.
2) Source for those numbers?
3) And why don't they trust it, becouse they are uneducated on that subject. Most people don't even know what Islam is, even the basics of the religion are often unknown to people.
