Steve,

I gotta agree with you. There are only a small number of muslims that are bad guys. Let's see now. World population of muslims: 1 Billion (1.2 via CAIR) and only, say, 2% want to kill us and our families. OK I'm with that. That's a nice handfull of mooslims.

At a level of 1.2 billion, [in1999] Muslims represent between 19.2% and 22% of the world's population. It has become the second largest religion in the world. Christianity has slightly less than 30%.

Islam is growing about 2.9% per year which is faster than the total world population which increases at about 2.3% annually. It is thus attracting a progressively larger percentage of the world's population.

The number of Muslims in North America is in dispute: estimates range from under 3 million to over 6 million. The main cause of the disagreement appears to be over how many Muslim immigrants have converted to Christianity since they arrived in the US.

Statistics Canada reports that 253,260 Canadians identified themselves as Muslims (0.9% of the total population) during the 1991 census. Some estimated that there were as many as 500,000 Muslims in Canada. Today (.2001) there are an estimated 650,000 Muslims in Canada.

The Christians and Mongols did the same thing along time ago but sometime in the 18th century we went through what is known as Enlightenment. If we did not go through this period we would still be throwing turnips at witches.

Unfortunately, Islam has not gone through this and are still in the 12th century.

And by the way, most muslims are NOT just like us.
