Radical Islam Placed in Perspective




A Pew Research Demographic Study released April 2, 2015 reveals that the Muslim faith is the worlds fastest growing and is expected to increase by 73% by 2050. There are currently approximately 1.6 billion Muslims world wide and this will increase to nearly 2.8 billion by 2050 according to the study.

Research has shown that there are a variety of estimates on how many Muslims are actively involved in jihad, radical Islamic terrorism, but it can be estimated that it is roughly 7%. Some say this is a small number, but is it? This is 112 million radical Islamists, a very big number. (Over 1/3 of the population of the United States to put it in perspective.) Also, to give an attitudinal measure, estimates range from about 20 to 25% of Muslims are in agreement with radical Islam, even though they themselves may not participate. This is a whopping 320 to 400 million Muslims! (Equal to or greater than the entire population of the United States.)

Also, a high number of Muslims believe that they should be ruled by Sharia law. Of all legal systems in the world today, Islam's Sharia law is the most intrusive and strict, especially against women. Even worse it can call for amputation, marriage with female children, and even death for what many consider basic rights and freedoms.

It is inconceivable how anyone, especially in our government, as well as in the media, cannot recognize this as a major problem that is not only not going away, but increasing dramatically over the next several years. Radical Islam is real, barbaric, and evil, and is a threat to the United States and all free countries across the world.
