I would like to give a hat tip to LJWorld.com for the post
Not All Muslims Are Radicals. It was the starting point for what I am about to write here.
First, I'd like to start off with why this information is so important. Well, CNN did a study in 2009 that showed that nearly 1 out 4 people in the world are
Muslim (
Nearly 1 in 4 people worldwide is Muslim, report says). According to the article, and I suggest you read the entire thing, it's quite eye-opening, they represent 23% of the world's population (at the time there were a mere 6.8 billion people in the world). The world clock estimates that there are 7,016,727,724 people in the world currently. I like round numbers, so 7 billion will suffice. Using the above numbers there are about 1.61 muslims in the world today.
Four years ago Gallup completed a six year study on Muslims. The
researchers were pro-muslim. The Weekly Standard wrote about it in the
article
Just Like Us! Really?.
Gallup's goal was to figure out how many Muslims were radical. On a
scale of 1 to 5, with five being the most radical, or "politically radicalized" as the study refers to
them. Accordian to the scale, 7% of Muslims are "politically radicalized". They felt that the 9/11 attacked were "completely justified" and
view the U.S. unfavorably. There is no way to change their minds. I
figure that the terrorists who would be suicide bomber types and the oh so
loving parents who would strap a bomb onto their six year old and send
them out into a market place to be unwilling human bombs would be in
that category.
Okay 7% of the 1.61 billion muslims fall into the most "politically radicalized".
That would be a bit over 112,700,000 extreme radicals in the world.
These people truly hate the Western civilization. To give some way to
grasp that number, the current population in the U.S. is
313,641,672. An equivalent of 36% of the U.S. population is the same number as the number of extreme radicals in the world.
Let's look at some state populations (List of U.S. States and Territories by Population):
California 37,691,912
Texas 25,674,681
New York 19,465,197
Florida 19,057,542
Michigan 9,876,197
Montana 998,199
Total population = 112,763,728.
Now, according to the same studies, the 4's felt that the 9/11
attacks were "justified". The 4's are just your regular run-of-the-mill
"radicals". I guess these people would kill someone else but wouldn't
quite kill themself for 30 virgins. I'm sure they do a bit of financing
and possibly training. There was another 7% who were 4's. That means
another 112,700,000 muslims, another 36% of the population of the United States, who are "radical".
Total of "politically radicalized" and "radicals" is the equivalent of 72% of the American population who are radical (approx. 225,400,000 people).
Let's add some more states by population:
Illinois 12,869,257
Pennsylvania 12,742,886
Ohio 11,544,951
Georgia 9,815,210
North Carolina 9,656,401
New Jersey 8,821,155
Virginia 8,096,604
Washington 6,830,038
Massachusetts 6,587,536
Indiana 6,516,922
Arizona 6,482,505
Tennessee 6,403,353
Missouri 6,010,688
1/2 of Vermont 313,216
Total population of new states = 112,690,722
Total of all states listed 225,454,450
But WAIT! It gets better! Also according to the Gallup study, 36%
of Muslims responded that 9/11 was at least "some way justified". I'm
going so say that these people make up the cheering section. They are
just as dangerous because deep down they agree with what is going on.
In politics we refer to these people as the "silent majority" or "silent
minority". Either way, they support the terrorist attacks at least
somewhat. They are the ones who will say to your face muslim jihad is
wrong, but behind your back ... who knows. I wouldn't trust them,
that's for sure. I mean, would you count some one friendly if they felt
it was "some way justified" for a stranger to kill your loved one in a
random attack to fulfill some religious jihad?! They are as much
terrorists as the terrorists themselves (okay, I'll TRY being P.C. and
call them "terrorist sympathizers" instead). I mean, I may not run the
football for a touchdown, but I'm definitely a Cheesehead! See my
point?
Okay, 36% of 1.6 billion muslims is 576,000,000. The population of the entire North Continent is "nearly 529 million" (
North America). You can read the list of the 49 sovereign and dependent states and territories on the North American Continent
here.
But we're still short 47,000,000 million so I'll add the populations of
Columbia and Martinique to complete the pretty picture of the muslims
who thought 9/11 was at least "some way justified".
Not scare yet? Still think there isn't a "muslim problem"? Okay,
let's combine the "politically radicalized", the "radicals", and the
"terrorist sympathizers". All in all, a full 50% of muslims are terrorists.
That means, according to a six year study by pro-muslims for
Gallup, that 805,000,000 ... or roughly 9% ... of the world's population
are muslim terrorists.
That is the equivalent population for all of Europe and all of Oceania combined plus South Africa (Europe and Oceania were 43,000,000 people short! Here's a full list of the countries in Europe and Oceania:
Eastern Europe:
Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech
Republic, Hungary,
Moldova, Poland, Romania,
Russia, Slovakia, Ukraine
Northern Europe:
Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Isle
of Man, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Svalbard, Sweden, United Kingdom
Southern Europe:
Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Gibraltar,
Greece, Holy See (Vatican City), Italy, Kosovo, Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Portugal,
San Marino, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain
Western Europe:
Austria, Belgium, France,
Germany, Guernsey, Jersey, Liechtenstein,
Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands,
Switzerland
Oceania
Australia
and New Zealand:
Australia,
New Zealand, Norfolk Island
Melanesia:
Fiji, New Caledonia, Papua, New Guinea, Solomon
Islands, Vanuatu
Micronesia:
Federated States of Micronesia,
Guam, Kiribati,
Marshall Islands, Nauru, Northern
Mariana Islands, Palau
Polynesia:
American Samoa, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Niue, Pitcairn,
Samoa, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Wallis and Futuna
As an added note, there are 2,600,000 muslims in the United
States as of the 2010 census. According to the statistics from Gallup,
364,000 of them are terrorist and another 936,000 support them. That means you don't want to turn your back on 50% of them. You never know which muslim they might be.
Does this make me an "Islamaphobe" (
definition: prejudice against, hatred or irrational fear of Islam or Muslims)? No. What it makes me is a person who is less afraid of being "politically correct" and more concerned with actual FACTS. And as a person armed with facts, I don't trust muslims. And if you do, you're a frigging idiot!!
Sleep easy tonight.
Peace Out,

And if any medicare recipient thinks that THEY are getting the shaft, well they are more than welcome to trade their government medicare for what our veterans gets instead. EIGHTEEN MONTH WAITING PERIODS and red tape covered by red tape with a bright red tape bow on top. Only 2% of Americans serve in the military and they get the absolute WORSE coverage after being paid CRAP. They provided SAFETY and FREEDOM for the other 98%. They put their LIVES ON THE LINE while eating dirt while they did it too. But when the promises made to THEM are broken, hardly a sound. But if our medicare recipients were put on the same coverage our veterans get THEY WOULD DECLARE WAR!
