You know, for years, I've tried to keep an open mind about the Islamic faith. Assuming it is the radical factions that think this way, thinking that the average Muslim couldn't aren't of this mindset.

I'm losing that person battle right now. I think alot of Americans are having their eyes opened to what we're facing. And it's scary as hell.

One thing that I keep hearing is that "it's only a tiny minority of muslims that think this way" when it comes to islamofacism. That may well be true, but then there are some things that need to be kept in mind...

1) If only 1% of muslims think that way, and there are 1.5 billion muslims, then that leaves 15 million muslims who think like that. That's quite a number.

2)"Moderate" muslims do not speak out against them. That could be for a number of reasons, including outright fear, to the possibility that they really don't disagree with them.

3) They're well funded. They get a lot of money from oil rich kingdoms and royal families who have no love for the west, but more importantly, are trying to bribe them to stay in power.

4) They've got tacit approval, if not outright sponsorship, from a number of middle eastern countries, for reasons mentioned above.
