Interesting analysis from one of my readers:
Recently, after reading parts of the Koran, I have become a bit frustrated that no one seems to understand the magnitude of the Muslim threat. People look at at the Pew report and they seem to think that the results are mixed, and that there really “aren’t that many” radical Muslims. So I sat down today and actually ran the numbers; I’m attaching a page from that analysis which shows my results. My hope is that you may wish to publish them, or portions thereof, in one of your columns.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that with 1.6B Muslims, even if 10% of them were radical, that’s 160 million people: about half of the total US population. But in looking closer at their survey, I’d put the number closer to 25%.
My analysis focused only on the questions about Sharia law: (1) Should the law of the land be Sharia law?; and (2) should that apply to everyone, including non-Muslims? Pew asked question (1) in countries that account for about a billion Muslims, and question (2) in countries that account for about 830 million. If you accept their results in just the countries they surveyed, we learn that:
— 70%, or 700 million Muslims out of the billion represented by Q1 of their survey, want Sharia law to be the law of the land;
— 32%, or 266 million Muslims out of the 840 million represented by Q2 of their survey, want to force it upon everyone.
I don’t know about you, but I’d say that alone represents over a quarter billion “radical” Muslims, with only just over half (53%) of their total population accounted for by the survey.
But we can make reasonable (and conservative) assumptions about the rest of them, and the results are even scarier. I extrapolated Pew’s results in each region (e.g., Central Asia) across the whole region, using the smallest percentages that they found for the countries in the region they did survey. The lower-bound estimates I get for the world Muslim population are as follows:
— 63%, or just under a billion Muslims, want Sharia law; — 38% of those Muslims, or about 370 million, want to force it on everyone.
That’s 24% of all the Muslims in the world that are, by my definition at least, radical. And that’s more than the population of the US and Canada put together.
I’m just sending a one-page .pdf file. You can have my spreadsheet if you are interested. And if you aren’t sure of the soundness of my methodology, ask someone who is a statistics expert to review it. Ask Pew, if you have a good relationship with them. In fact, let anyone who wants to review the data and methodology see it, because such is the nature of peer review. Until it’s vetted by experts, they’ll just call it right wing nonsense. Of course, there’s nothing in here that would be difficult for anyone who got at least a B+ in an introductory statistics course at a decent college or grad school.
They're so stupid they believe the central socialist government will take care of them, but if they don't stand up and refuse to be bamboozled we're all lost.
The NEW Congress needs to be busily getting rid of the cancerous parasite now occupying the White Hut.
A billion Muslims also want me and those like me dead or enslaved. Looks like they’re 0 for 2.

That's just an insignificant 62.5% minority.
I know these numbers are very tenuous. Support for Sharia is not solid until they see “their team” making big gains in winning territory, etc. Then, the support gets stronger.
What is crucial to remember here is that these muslims do not know this about themselves. They are very divided geographically and by religious sect (Sunni, Shia, etc).
The key, which Bush realized, was that you do not want to unify them. You want to keep them divided.
If you unify them, then you will fight a billion and you will lose.
If you keep them divided, paying off some leaders to look the other way while fighting the ones that get strong (like ISIS), you can prevent them from every unifying and achieving their ultimate dream of a unified caliphate.
But, Obama just wants to ignore the problem and allow it to grow and unite. This is the Chamberlain tactic that led to the deaths of millions fighting fascism while millions more were slaughtered in camps.
Aren’t there also a billion heroin addicts?
For later
Saddam Hussein, although a non-benevolent despot, kept the peace in the middle east and protected Christians and Jews.
His bombing runs on Tehran caused much anxiety for the Ayatollahs.
But this has nothing to do with islam.
Pretty scary.
I think I'm going to need some more ammo.
Do they want it, or do they just think they want it?
A Billion People hi- jacked a beautiful Religion ?
Being firm believers in their ‘good book’ they’ll want it. Most of these sand monkeys are illiterate.
There are something like 57 countries that have muslim law, if they want to live under it, pick one and go.
Egypt teaches us that most there don’t want and won’t tolerate Sharia law
More ammunition and a bigger Boat!
They actually counted a billion votes? BFS. More propaganda from the Muzzies. Lloks like they learned too well how to lie from our CIC...
