Hi Maurice, and you are welcome...

I disagree with you on "The %age of jihadis is quite high at about 10%"

you see, the population of Muslims worldwide is over one Billion... 10% of that is 100Million...

the total population of either Saudi Arabia or Iraq is less than 15Million... the total population of either Egypt or Iran is about 75Million...

so to have a 100Million count, you would have to have either all of the population of either Egypt or Iran in addition to all of the population of Saudi Arabia and Iraq... now, is that the case ? I don't think so...

and on "They have been resting on 1000 year old laurels"
that's not true either... here is an example of a 1999 Noble Prize winner in the field of molecular sciences and the foundation of Nanotechnology... its.caltech.edu

another is the Egyptian doctor who patented a cure for cataract ... and the list goes on... but, you never hear about such issues because that does not create the desired hype the media seeks...

regards
AV
