Complete and total BS right there bro. 5000 militants worldwide....laughable. We've already killed 10 times that many since 2001 and we haven't even made a dent. Its thinking like this that will get us in trouble. I think you need to go ahead and put the PC stuff away and akowledge the 800lb gorilla in the room.
Depends on the definition, what where counting and no one really knows. The number was just an example. make it 500,000 or make it 1.5 million and it is still a fraction of the populations.
You can hardly call the rag tag army in Iraq and Afghanistan as militants. On the other side of the coin every single local army in that country that is supporting us is is all Muslim.
Hamas and the PLO and the hatred of the Jews the whole Isereal/Gaza strip is a whole different subject. That is a land grab that will go on for a long time.
So I'm guessing this would be a bad time to admit you were a muslim?..
Nope 100% American catholic.
I am very fortunate enough to have been able to visit Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt in the 80's and had the opportunity to meet the people and see there culture. Even got to stay in the king of Saudi's palace.
I do a lot of business in the middle east and Israel. Speak to the people on a weekly basis.
Most are like the majority of people on earth. They want to go to work, support there family, and live peacefully.
I get it, people hate the all Muslims for 9-11. Americans hated the Russians during the cold war. Americans hated the Japanese during WW2. They hated Cuba in the 60's
Fear sells a lot of newspapers and ad time on the news!
Religion and Politics and the opinions will never change!
