Pretty powerful statistics. I wish the left would look at them and use them instead of distorting them. We need more people like her in power positions to bring it back to reality. I lived in the Middle East for 4 years as part of my military duties (Prior to Iraq and Afghanistan) and the majority of people I met were gracious and personable. But I was always warned to stay away from certain areas and not associate with certain people. That is true even in our own society, stay away from certain areas (Chicago South Side, anywhere in Detroit, et al.) and certain people and you will stay out of trouble.
1.2 billion who follow Islam (Shia, Sunni, Wahab, etc.)
15-25% are radicals willing to kill for their religion.
That's between 180 and 300 MILLION nutcases willing to cut your head off for being an "infidel".
She's exactly right: the peaceful majority are irrelevant. If you don't stand up for what your religion truly believes, you are an accomplice by virtue of association and negligence.
I think this can also be extended to politics in general. I think the 15-25% also applies to Conservatives and Liberals - those who believe in their cause and actively vote (let's say Libertarians are another 10%). So what about the other 40-60%? about half actually vote and frequently they are the ones who determine the election - for better or worse.
Growing up in Lebanon, Brigette remembers growing up in Beirut, the "Paris" of the middle east. It was so called affectionately until they started a humanitarian effort to help Palestinians by establishing refugee camps in Lebanon. That began the end of Lebanon as it was. NOW, watch our southwest events unfolding. I think our efforts there should be a coordination among the U.S. and the various central american countries to help those people get back to their countries safely and apply to come through normal channels. We should not be encouraging the human tsunami and calling it a humanitarian act.
Brigitte is working for fox, now, and we can be glad that they recruited her!!!

Passive Islamists are irrelevant, but need to become relevant by engaging with us to deal with the jihadists. Just the way most Christians have become intolerant of the KKK, Nazis and Skinheads.
Particularly relevant is the united States efforts to force unconditional surrender on the Japanese war ministry psychopaths by the 'Gifts from Heaven' (Better known as Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs) [CHAPTER SEVEN]
"Gristy" commented in the thread over there about muslums: "If someone wants to claim that bludgeoning someone to death because of who they sleep with is “peaceful”, I look forward to their reasoning."
Here is a start, and it continues to this day.
But let's see what's going on in America: "1970–1979[edit] March 1970 – Howard Efland, a gay man who had checked into the Dover Hotel, under the pseudonym J. McCann, was beaten to death by officers of the Los Angeles Police Department.[7] June 24, 1973 – An arsonist burned the Upstairs Lounge in New Orleans, a gay bar, killing 32 people.[8] June 21, 1977 – Robert Hillsborough was stabbed to death in San Francisco by a man shouting "faggot".[9]"

Where is Mecca?
The other major Islamic holy site is the Dome of the Rock or Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem - supposedly where Mohammed received a vision.
But Mecca and Medina are very doable.

Quoted from the Introduction: Victory and the Moral Will to Fight.
There is just an individual and his friends.
The political circus will betray you to feather their nests.

So, can we clean our own house?
Sorry, I didn't get any further, cause my parser crashed while dealing with the inherent contradiction in terms.
