Book "What Muslims Really Think": Hammer Drops On Credibility

About ten days ago, I tapped out an article about an upcoming book titled, Who Speaks for Islam: What a Billion Muslims Really Think. Shortly there after, I added a comment regarding an article from jihadwatch.org that cast suspicions on the authors. Apparently, the mis-information runs even deeper.

The authors of the book, Dalia Mogahed and John Esposito (prior to my discovery of the Jihadwatch.org article,) were listed with high regard as to their credentials and associations. After discovery of the article on jihadwatch.org, that quickly went south.

As I mentioned in both my article, and later in my comment, I wasn't going to hold my breathe. But one could "HOPE" that the info was true that most muslims were moderate. Ever the eternal optimist am I,... I suppose.

Now, as found in a The Weekly Standard article by Robert Satloff titled, Just Like Us! Really? the authors did some serious cooking of the books regarding the percentages of "moderate" to "radical" thought lines. Originally, it was cast as only 7% of muslims favored or supported the 9/11 attacks. In actuality, that percentage as Satloff found, is a bit closer to 36% as shown in the article.

When one considers that there approximately 1.3 billion muslims in the world, 7% is no small number. Over 90 million to be more precise. But now, with this new revealed info of upwards of 36% of muslims falling into a category of favoring terroristic ideals, that puts the numbers up over 300 million. Roughly, the entire population of the United States, not including all the uncounted illegal aliens in country. That's a lot of suicide bombers when you think of it.

So, I'll continue to plod along, knowing better about the islamic community than the touchie-feelies want me to. Happily accepting the title of infidel, or islamofascist. And continuing to push for legislation that makes life miserable for those wishing Sharia upon America.
