But I am appalled at the hatred of people and their religion based on the actions of a few fanatics.Daniel Pipes an unquestioned expert on the subject estimates that 5-10% of Muslims are Islamists.
Assuming that there are 1.2 billion Muslims throughout the world, this means that there are 60-120 million Islamists.
Furthermore, again assuming there are about 2 million Muslims here in the U.S., we have somewhere in the vicinity of 100,000 -200,000 Islamists living right here among us.
This is somewhat more than "a few fanatics" I'd say.
The good news is that if the stuff ever hits the fan, this ill-informed person will have to fend for him/herself.
I sure don't care to waste any time with delusional do-gooders.
