Ted, <How do you know that the size of the radical fringe here in the US is smaller than the radical fringe in Islam? Do you have statistics from which you are quoting?> You're asking the wrong question. Size doesn't matter. Look at the daily news and count how many incidents of violence are caused by radical Muslims vs. those caused by radical Christians. Besides, isn't Islam supposed to be the "fastest growing religion in the world"? Wouldn't that suggest that extremist Islam is also growing by leaps and bounds? Tenchusatsu

How do you know that the size of the radical fringe here in the US is smaller than the radical fringe in Islam? Do you have statistics from which you are quoting? I don't know the numbers but it is certainly smaller on a percentage basis than the number of people supportive of suicide bombings. That said, I think it is incorrect to focus too much on the quantitative aspect; it is more of a qualitative concept.
