Statistics

Let us guess that a minimum of 85% of terrorism is Islamic. More realisticly, it would be more like 95%. In any event the link it undeniable and, if it weren't for our politically correct environment, shocking. If such statistics were true of a religion such as Christianity, the media would be quick to focus on that and make it a major headline. Yet we are told that the terrorist are "extremists" or "radicals." No, they are Muslims. Koran believing, Imam following, prayer saying devoted Muslims.

What percentage of Muslims are terrorists, or terrorists sympathizers? That is a harder question. Certainly there are non-terrorist Muslims, but are they typical or unusual? I would say that the majority of Muslims would not strap a bomb on themselves or fly a plane into a building. But a shocking number would, and have. And a shocking number praise those actions, or at least don't oppose it. In fact, there has been little outcry from the Muslim community condemning terrorism, especially from the leadership. This speaks volumes. I suppose the attack upon America and its ideals is just too popular among the Muslims. Rather than just repeating the refrain "religion of peace" they should use their platform to say "this is evil and it must stop."
