We know that there are many Muslims who hate Christians and hate Jews. There are many so called "good" Muslims who say they don't hate Christians or Jews but they still follow a religion that teaches it is right and noble to kill Christians and Jews. I would like to know of one "good" Muslim who publicly criticized radical Muslims for acts of violence against Christiansor Jews. Before you criticize this post, please name that one individual. Please be specific; say who it is, what they said and when and where they said it.
A quick search on the internet, using, Muslims condemn violence, Muslims condemn violence against Jews.... Against Christians , turned up volumes of articles. One in particular from Religion Dispatches, suggests that opposition from Muslims might not be heard by the western world, because a majority of Muslims, communicate, in non European languages. The Pew Research Center study, shows that 81% of the Muslims in the US condemn violence against civilians in any way and 71% globally. Be a man so blind, as he who will not see.
If we are looking at religious fanaticism, one only needs to look to the conflict in Ireland... Christians, killing Christians.
All of this stems directly from the imperfection of man. That's why Jesus' simple rule, if applied to all situations, would make this a better place. Love they neighbor. Modern translation: get along. Be nice to everyone no matter what their differences. Accept diversity of all kinds. If we all did this, the world would be a much better place.

These figures are very frightening indeed. In the Us it means 19% of 2.6 million which is 494,000 and Worldwide 29 % of 1.6 billion which is 464 million.
In total that is 464,494,000 potentially dangerous fanatics.
