How to evaluate the extent of the threat of "militant Muslims"?
Please follow along with me in some basic calculations as to the level of the present and future threat that “activist”, “jihadist”, Muslims represent to the world.
There are about One Billion (1,000,000,000) Muslims alive. If we eliminate, in good Muslim tradition, all females as meaningless, that still leaves us with 500-Million male muslims. I think we must assume that at least 80% of those male Muslims do believe, as commanded by their ideology or “faith” that: The Koran is the collection of the true, unalterable and absolute words and commands of God (Allah); The Hadith (The collected sayings of Mohammed) is a guide to right thinking and actions; And, that the Sharia (The codes of Islamic law) is the only correct legal rule and system in the world.
Those 400-million male Muslims are not necessarily a threat to us. But, we must note that such “faith” requires them to believe that it is correct to: Use aggressive war to spread “Islam”; Sexually use (ie Rape) female captives taken on jihad; Believe that there is a state of perpetual war between Muslims and all other persons; That all “unbelievers” and all women are entitled to only very inferior legal, social and political power or rights; It is correct to kill Jews anywhere and at any time; That anyone who insults the Koran or Mohammed must be killed (ie Murdered); That the same fate must be given to any Muslim who converts to another religion or, even by exposing such a person to the Bible or Sutras or other non-Islamic works, encourages such a conversion; That lying to or stealing from a non-believer is no crime or sin; That any attack by a Muslim, with a claim of defending his “faith” is encouraged, but any defensive action by a nonbeliever against a Muslim is a crime worthy of punishment; That “good Muslims” must either be on active and military jihad or support those who are, as a precondition to going to Paradise; That such support is as much, perhaps greater, an act of "charity" as supporting the poor or widows or orphans; That any treaty or peace or truce with “unbelievers” is only hudna and can be broken at any time, without warning for any reason whatsoever; That there is no non-Islamic government or government or laws which need be obeyed except under threat of force or for convenience's sake; And, many other like beliefs.
If we assume that only one-eigth of those “true believers” are of an age (16-to-35 years old) and geographic position where they could effect active and physical actions against non-Muslins or those Muslims who do not believe as they do, that still leaves us with
50-Million (50,000,000) high risk, potential, terrorists! Of those 50-Million persons, those who represent the greatest treat are those who live in non-Islamic nations, with strong free speech traditions, which have a history of welcoming strangers---Such as the United Kingdom, other Commonwealth Nations, Canada, France, The Netherlands, the Scandinavian countries and the United States of America !!!
The real Islamic threat is NOT some army of jihadists coming out of Turkey or North Africa or Egypt or Central Asia BUT from within our own free nations.
At some future time I will address dealing with that internal threat.
