I have known many muslims. There are statistics to show how many support the Jihad and how many do not. In western countries it runs around 10 to 40% support the Jihad.

Those that do not support the Jihad understand Islam as much as most of those that celebrate Christmas understand Christianity. In other words most people that claim to be a specific religion do not understand it.

Your first claim requires far more evidence. I doubt it would hold up to scrutiny, at least in America. Your second point is about doctrine, not about the character of individuals.
