This is a problem that I've had all along:

While it is true that there are many peaceable Muslims it is not true that Islam itself is peaceable.

The problem is that Islam preconditions Muslims to think about "Muslim Problems" as purely internal issues that outsiders have no part questioning.

So even among the "70%" of non-radical Muslims there will be a huge number of folks who will reflexively offer air and comfort to the radicals because they are Muslims provided their victims are not.

I wonder if any study has been made to suggest how many millions of Muslim enablers there are out there?

Scroll down to the charts showing the results of a Pew poll:

Keep in mind, the question asked had to do with *defense* of Islam, not expansion. Still, the question asked about targeting civilians in that "defense".

Another poll (sorry, no link) showed Denmark as the greatest perceived enemy in many Islamic countries.

A man of War cannot found a "religion of Peace".

I've spent the last few years trying to make people get the obvious point.
