"And say ... to those who are unlearned: 'Do ye submit yourselves?'" (Surah 3:20).

And, if you don't, we'll...

Here's a happy thought from Middle East expert Daniel Pipes:

Islamists constitute a small but significant minority of Muslims, perhaps 10 to 15 per cent of the population. Many of them are peaceable in apearance, but they all must be considered potential killers.

How does 400,000 to 800,000 -- in our country -- potential killers sound?

"How does 400,000 to 800,000 -- in our country -- potential killers sound?"

"experts estimate that there are approximately six million American Muslims. Other estimates range from four to eight million.

Actually if the above numbers are correct and 15% of them are potential jihadist, the number would be more in the range of 900,000 to 1.2 million.

But whatever the actually number is our government keeps talking in terms of 10 - 20 thousand potential sleepers in this country, which I believe to be way low. I can only hope that they are purposely not acknowledging a more accurate number under the premise that to do so could cause a panic.
