For example, after the London bombings last summer, a survey of UK Muslims was taken. Only 5% thought that more attacks were justified. This sounds like great news until you do the math. Unfortunately 5% of Muslims in the UK means 80,000 people thought more attacks were justified. If only 5% of the 5% were actually willing to act on that feeling of justification, that’s still 4,000 jihadis in the UK alone. Considering how few managed to successfully attacks us on 9/11, I’d say that’s cause for concern.” [...] [...] June 19, 2006: “The problem is that even though only a small percentage of people who declare themselves Muslim actively want to fight us because they say their faith compels it, the numbers involved are huge.

I’ve posted before (1, 2, 3) on the idea of the 5% of the 5% who are jacking around the rest of the planet. It may not be “right” or “fair” that of a billion or so peaceful Muslims, a tiny percentage are killing thousands, costing billions, and ruining the reputation of all. But it is not more right or fair that all of us in civilized society bear the burden for that tiny percentage. [...] [...] Well, yeah.

We saw what 19 could do. The number of radical Islamists in Londonistan has grown. On July 26, 2005, Adrian Warnock posted that according to a Guardian article after the 7/7 bombings, only 5% of Muslims in Britain thought more attacks would be justified. He rightly pointed out that “Eighty thousand muslims who believe more attacks are justified is a major, major security concern.” Giving the benefit of the doubt and saying that only a tiny minority - 5% of that 5% - might be willing to actually act on that belief, I did the math: that’s 4,000 people who would be willing to attack the country they live in based on their religious beliefs.

And boy, when Ms. Wilkerson pummeled my thighs with a metal rod so that I couldn't walk and my muscles were liquified, she sure got her point about the commutative property across! Ha ha ha! What did Jesus say about your enemies? Um, there's a verb there. Hot damn, what did he say? I know you can help me with this one.
