about 100,000,000 to 150,000,000 Islamic fundamentalists
This is awfully misleading especially based on your view that Islamists wish to "take over the world". The reality is no one has a good estimates and almost everyone bases their number on Pipes' estimates. But suppose we use that as a basis anyway. I have several questions.
If there are that many why haven't they simply inundated and taken over Yeman, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and SA? Certainly they could take over one country? The reality is there is not one single country in the world which has followed Islamism.
Can we explain why the 100 million Islamists have not taken over a single country? Well using even Pipes' estimates he figures that of the 10% only 5% are active supporters of terrorism. That is not to say they are terrorists but supporters. So we are down to about 5 million supporters who are spread all over the Muslim world. This means that 95 million Islamists are using other venues to seek their goals such as using democratic processes. Wow I know you are not suggesting democracy is not a valid political process, even for Islamists.
But what of the 5 million? Just a few years ago DoS estimated there were about 20k-30k active Islamic terrorists operating from the Philippines to Morocco. So now I have to ask again who are we fighting?
So I have to repeat ... your statement is misleading.
