Tiny Minority, Big Problem

If we believe the spin of Associated Press headline writers, there's little cause for concern about a new Pew poll of American Muslims. "Most U.S. Muslims reject suicide bombings," the AP headline writer blithely reports.

But the details of the poll show that the always-downplayed tiny minority of jihadi sympathizers in America is cause for big concern.

The poll found that while 80 percent of U.S. Muslims believe suicide bombings of civilians to defend Islam cannot be justified, fully 13 percent said they can be justified, at least rarely. One in four younger American Muslims find suicide bombings in defense of Islam "acceptable at least in some circumstances."

A very big problem. Most people don't rob banks either, or fly airplanes into buildings. It only takes a few.

Ms Malkin puts real numbers to the "tiny minority." 13% certainly isn't tiny, here in America, and the 10% in Indonesia ain't either...we're talking MILLIONS of people, not a few hundred or even thousand, "here and there..."

There's a LOT of angry, homicidal people out there and they are ready to die in the process of killing US, and anybody else they deem to be enemies of islam....

WHY aren't more people taking there people seriously?

I don't see the 80% of muslims that do not believe in suicide bombings as true Islam vehemently running out in the streets demonstrating against the "Tiny majority" who do. If 80% were as energetic as the jihadists in proving their point I might be impressed.

I have a gut feeling these muslims are nothing more than dormant fuses waiting for the right time to be ignited by the "Tiny minority" into action against all infidels...that's YOU and ME...so let's all keep a sharper eye on these "neighbors" or we may end up on the short end of the stick.

A - too many in power in our Nation are deep into appeasement - W. Churchill said "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."
Schools out - we desperately need to own that truth. We should have published all the real Danish Allah cartoons, along with the fake ones the so called Imams put out there and should have pointed out he evil lie they were spreading as to the origin of them. They were watching our reaction. Gauging how much we will cave. They are patient and very contemplative. Doubt me? Check out the Brits intelligence types and some of their commentary about the subject.

B - I am a Christian. I have a friend here at work who is a follower of Islam. To my experience, he is a good man with a heart filled with love for both believers and non-believers of Islam. I have worked with him since three years before 9/11 and am blessed to still work with him. In the days after 9/11 he and his son(s?) went out into the community to put a human face on their faith. To show that those who did the evil of 9/11 were no more true followers of Allah than the hooded scum of the KKK are true followers of Jesus Christ. My friend holds Jesus in high regard, he sees him as a prophet, not the Son of God. While I respect his right to his belief, I pray for him and his family to see the one True Light that is the salvation I believe can only be found in Jesus. I suspect he prays the opposite side of the coin for me. And im cool with that.

C - I thank God for my friend. If it weren't for him, I would almost certainly have a heart filled to over flowing with hate for all Muslims everywhere and would be filled with a dark desire to see all of them dead. I have told him as much to his face.:usflag22:

Don't sweat the numbers; John Edwards says it's just a bumper sticker. No terrorists, no war on terror, no problem. He didn't say if it was the president or termites that brought down the twin towers but that's a minor detail.
