@parados,
Quote:The number of Muslim Jihadists are much less than 10% of the religion. It is less than 5%. Why don't you provide us with a number of how many jihadists there are in Islam today and then we can examine that.
As far as I can determine (it's not an easy search), the actual percentage of publicly stated 'Jihadists' (even including ISIL's 30,000-60,ooo members) is very low.
However the percent of Jihadists isn't particularly necessary to my assertion that Islam is dangerous. As I've mentioned
numerous times - that assertion only requires that the number of acts / frequency of acts, severity of acts / breadth of acts (how many countries it's occuring in) or the threat of such severe acts of violence - render it in my opinion, dangerous (and it is an opinion) ....and that an obvious correlation can be drawn between those acts, the founding, the texts, and the institutions.
So we could discuss the exact percentage of jihadists (if you can find a figure)...and it would be somewhat pointless for what you are trying to achieve...because it doesn't change any of the above (it is a related point, but not the crux of the matter).
On Pakistan, you will need to pay a little more attention to world events, Pakistani attitudes, it's internal strife and power struggles, and the dread of a security breach into their nuclear stockpile. You will also need to pay more attention to why, in a country that has such deep seated american hatred, pro-american presidents are almost always elected, and what sort of cabinet such a prime-minister must have.

The Muslims Brotherhood was an
Islamist organisation with 2 million members that gained political power in Egypt
Quote:“In December … Brotherhood leaders began fomenting anti-Christian sectarian incitement. The anti-Coptic incitement and threats continued unabated up to the demonstrations of June 30 and, with the removal of President Morsi … morphed into sectarian violence, which was sanctioned by … the continued anti-Coptic rhetoric heard from the group’s leaders on the stage … throughout the sit-in.”[109][111]

And you
still can't bring yourself to discuss the evidence of violence in Islam's name...as I predicted.
I've happily responded to, and discussed the points you raise...but 5 pages or more of refusing to discuss evidence on your part. Why should I keep discussing with such a close minded person?
