Islamic Extremism in Perspective
Since the attacks on 9-11 there have been more than 25028 terror attacks across the globe by followers of the "religion of peace".
Yet, Muslim apologists and those suffering from political correctness or plain ignorance point out that only a tiny minority of Muslims are extremists. So let me try to put this in perspective. There are approximately 1.6 Billion Muslims in the world. Let's assume for a moment that only 1% of Muslims are "extremists", that would still add up to about 16 million extremists.
Unfortunately, the percentage is much higher. Muslim-sponsored polls put the number at "just" 7%, which is a staggering 112 million people. Global security and intelligence sources put the numbers between 15% to 25%, which adds up to about 240 million to 400 million people dedicated to the destruction of Western civilization.(1)
To put the numbers in perspective for just the USA, there are currently an estimated 2.75 million people identifying as Muslim in America. 1% extremists translates into 27,500, 7%=192,500 and 15%-25% =412,500-687,500 extremists within our borders right now.(2)
Using the same percentages with regards to the number of Muslim refugees expected to be allowed into the US over the next two years, 185,000 are projected, this adds between 1,850-46,250 additional extremist by the end of 2017.(3)
Mind you, these numbers do not include Muslims, who merely support terrorism, who are at least sympathetic to extremists, or who support the implementation of Sharia law. Now, let those numbers sink in. Still think people are just paranoid?
