You make some good points. Personally I'm not sure what I think of Islam, so I just have to defer to people who know more than I do. Seems to me that if maybe 1% of Muslims are willing to do violence in the name or their religion. On the one hand that's a BIG number and we need to be deadly serious about protecting ourselves from that kind of huge threat. But on the other hand it seem unkind and unwise to get really pissed off at the other 99% who just want to mind their own business and live a peaceful life. As with most things in life, I guess we just need a healthy balance.

Islam's first 20 years of existence was marked by Mohamed's thirst for vengeance against those in Mecca who rejected him and tried to kill him.
With only a small band numbering around 1000 he plundered the caravans leaving Mecca, ordered his rivals assassinated, forced an entire village of Jews into exile for the sole purpose of stealing their property to provide an economic base for his expansion and murdered over 700 Jewish males in another oasis village, and married a 9 year old girl.
Theft, murder, pedophilia. Islam is a fraud.

First you admit to being ignorant. Then you pull a number out of your nether places and treat is as a fact.
Most people who
know they are ignorant usually don't dig a hole for themselves. The actual
conservative estimate is 20%, or 20 times your PC "wild" guess. So much for ignorance.
And by the way, that "conservative" 20% figure represents 200,000,000 primitive savage and mindless killers. Muslim Mass Murderers.
