According to "Muslim apologists," the number is only 7 percent of 1.5 billion. I'm math challenged, but I think that still amounts to 105 million people? http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Are_the_Overwhelming_Majority_of_Muslims_Peaceful_Moderates ("The authors claim only 7 percent of the world's Muslims are 'political radicals'.")
I could probably find several other sources that say the same thing, but you would dismiss them because you have your mind made up about this.
We are at war, but you probably don't believe the war on terror exists, or that most terrorists who want to kill us are Radical Islamists. That's just the truth.
We're not in a conventional war, because they don't have a conventional Army.
Is 75-195 million less a big difference?
So saying: "intelligence sources" say 180-300 IS fear propaganda when there are other studies without a huge variance and that differ from the "ambiguous", unverified, uncited, un supported intelligence studies
Another consideration to the "Muslim Apologist" study from wiki is whether or not these Radical Muslims are willing to commit acts of violence and whether or not they are presently or in the past been engaged in acts of violence.
If 180 million were engaged or have been engaged in violence over the last 10 years just 1 time, that would be 4931 acts of violence per day. WORLD WAR!
Its complete IGNORANCE to think:
- 180-300 million is an legit study
- Not take into consideration whether or not they are intending or have been engaged in violence and assume all radical islam is hell bent on violence.
DETAILS AND DISTINCTIONS!
