"There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world today. Of course not all of them are radicals. The majority of them are peaceful people. The radicals are estimated to be between 15-25% according to all intelligence services around the world.
"That leaves 75% of [Muslims being] peaceful people. But when you look at 15-25% of the world's Muslim population, you're looking at 180 million to 300 million people dedicated to the destruction of Western civilization. That is as big as the United States," said Gabriel.
"So why should we worry about the radical 15-25%? Because it is the radicals that kill. Because it is the radicals that behead and massacre," Gabriel said.
"When you look throughout history, at the lessons of history, most Germans were peaceful. Yet the Nazis drove the agenda. And as a result, 60 million people died, almost 40 million in concentration camps. 6 million were Jews. The peaceful majority were irrelevant," Gabriel said.

What is the criteria they used to determine if a Muslim is radical or not?
Seriously, I don't think that the population of radical Muslims is really that high.
Sure there are certainly those that want to destroy America. Hell, there's a lot of Americans that want to destroy America for the exact same reasons.

The media needs to stop concentrating on ''but most are nice'' and calling anything that strays from that as ''racist''.
How many ''nice'' became ''radical', how many ''nice'' are potential fodder for ''radical'' and how many will turn that way.
Governments should call them out on it. Those of the ''nice'' persuasion should identify themselves and those that don't should be held under suspicion.

The criteria for "radical" is believing that the death penalty for heresy and apostasy is morally just.
I bet that % is a lot higher than 15%.
So that makes the religion of peace, a direct threat to me. The measure of "good" is the extent that a person will confront and violate the rules of the "evil" meme. I's measured in actions, not words.
I see a lot of passives, but that isn't "good".

Just for the record Christians are waiting on a jihad as well. Remember Armageddon and fighting (and killing) all the unbelievers at Jesus's side?
