[quote=Anonymous]Clearly, math matters when talking about modern Islam.

YES -- a vast majority of Muslims are peaceful.  Only an idiot would refute that.

HOWEVER - there are enough self-declared Muslims that are waging wars that are in no way arbitrary or evidence of crazy or loony behavior.  To identify systemic, violent jihad as evidence of merely crazy or loony behavior is intellectually dishonest.  There is a propaganda war happening for the minds of young Muslims, and thank Allah (SWT) most are fine. Yet ENOUGH are boarding planes and fighting wars in the Levant. Enough are fighting in the streets of Mogadishu. Enough have joined Boko Haram.

We have to analyze these truths side by side -- on the one had, billions of Muslims are great -- on the other hand, ENOUGH (whatever that number actually is) are causing worldwide disturbances that are too many to list here.

The question still remains, how to reduce the allure of an Islam that promises a return to the roots, a rejection of modern life, an embrace of a religious-warrior lifestyle that sees the complex world in stark black and white terms.[/quote]
