This shouldn't be surprising if you've read
America Alone (a book I can't help but refer to so often). From the
Vatican:
"The Vatican recently put the number of Catholics in the world at 1.13 billion people. It did not provide a figure for Muslims, generally estimated at around 1.3 billion.
"Formenti said that while the number of Catholics as a proportion of the world's population was fairly stable, the percentage of Muslims was growing because of higher birth rates."
Don't Muslims know that overpopulation is bad for the environment? Maybe they need more liberals in their ranks...
Atlas Shrugs thinks of more reasons why the Muslim population continues to grow:
"Islam is number 1. So says the Vatican. I guess if you ban all religions, kill non-believers, terrorize your populations with beheadings, clititorectomies, stonings, hangings etc, insist on convert or die, treat your women like breeders and chattel, that this is bound to happen."
Okay, time for a quick math lesson.
Let's take the estimation of 1.3 billion Muslims to be true.
Let's also assume that radical Islam is not as prevalent in the United States as it is worldwide - therefore, making the 13% figure a conservative one when applied worldwide.
So - you take 1.3 billion Muslims worldwide, multiply that figure by the 13% figure from the Pew Research Center poll, and you would get a presumably low estimate of the total number of Muslims worldwide who can at least rarely justify suicide attacks. So...what do you get?
169 million Muslims who can find reason, at least rarely, to justify suicide attacks.
How many Catholics would justify suicide attacks - ever?
Again, by my logic, this would be a conservative estimate.
See why the "Religion of Peace" must be stopped now?
I can think of 169 million reasons why...
