Who Sez So?

Take a look at this article from one of the more left-wing "news" magazines.
That is what we are fighting: jihadism, the religiously inspired ideology which teaches that it is every Muslim's duty to use any means necessary to compel the world's submission to Islam. That most of the world's Muslims do not accept this definition of the demands of their faith is true—and beside the point. The jihadists believe this. That is why they are the enemy of their fellow Muslims and the rest of the world.
Really? At first glance it might seem truly remarkable that a liberal rag is finally admitting that our enemy are Muslims. But from the git-go, it makes some dangerous assumptions.
"That most of the world's Muslims do not accept this definition of the demands of their faith is true"
Really? Why is it true? Has anyone taken a census of the Muslim world? Is it just wishful thinking that "they can't ALL be bad?" Well, suppose they're not all bad. Let's do the math. There are 1.2 BILLION Muslims in the world. What percentage might accept "that it is every Muslim's duty to use any means necessary to compel the world's submission to Islam?" 10 percent? 120 million. 5 percent? 60 million. 1 percent? 12 million. Not even China has that big an army. Despite the denials of liberals, who are usually terrified of the goofiest things -- hole in the ozone, killer bees, food shortages, water shortages, global warming, capitalism, WalMart -- this is a very real war against a very real enemy. They can reproduce and recruit far faster than we can eliminate them. To put it in terms even liberals will understand, Remember the episode of Star Trek where the North Koreans won the Korean War? Prepare to memorize the Constitution so you can mispronounce it several generations on. You are already misinterpreting it to your own benefit, so that transition isn't science fiction. P.S. KFC hotwings are NOT hot.

If most of the world's Muslims do not accept this definition, then why don't they come forward and denounce the few that are Jihadists? Why don't they overpower the outnumbered few and end this war? Apparently, they have the numbers and the capability.

P.S. I suppose it's kind of like Popeyes. It depends on the neighborhood in which the KFC is located. The more economically disadvantaged, the hotter the wings. Anyway that's been my observance.

You know this is why Common sense is not longer Common and GROUPTHINK has taken over.

Because if they thought about it logic would tell them they are wrong.
