0.05% sounds like a wild ass guess if I ever heard one.

Is that the number of violent muslims in Palestine? A handfull of bad eggs throwing stones and blowing themselves up?

Is that the number in Indonesia? India? Pakistan?

Sure is a lot of work from that 0.05%.

I will say that the sure way to increase that number is to set in motion schemes to outlaw islam; that is the muslim trigger for physical jihad (when it is outlawed in a land, it becomes all out war). I can point you to more links from Ask The Imam but you seem to have ignored my previous posts from that site.

Do you have any suggstions on how to rid the world of that 500,000 (by your count) Islamofascists? I suggest getting the support of the "peaceful" muslims who claim that these radicals share no principles of the "true" muslim faith. If they really believe that these violent extremists are not muslims then they should have no qualms about helping us rid the world of them.

Part fo the answer is to kill as many of the radical core as we can find, but that's only a temporary measure. The situation is akin to the violence in N. Ireland: You had a situation where a large number of people felt oppressed and wanted change. This produced a number of hard-core IRA members who carried out bombings in the Belfast, the UK, and various other places. The initial British response was to arrest or kill as many of the IRA members as it could find, but while this decreased the number of the attacks it didn't (and couldn't) stop them completely. The situation was only resolved (and is still being resolved) when the UK sat down at the negotiating table and came to an accomodation that the people of N. Ireland could accept.

This is roughly the same situation that Isreal faces in the West Bank and that India faces in Kashmir (I can't comment on Indonesia out of ignorance of the conflict); military force is definately an option, but the real war can only be won by addressing the grievances of the people.
