OK, explain how 150 million Muslims from several dozen different countries will coalesce and mount a war that threatens our very existence as a nation and a civilization.

The leap from attitudes in a minority of a religious group to Hitler's Wehrmacht sweeping across Europe is way beyond stretched.

Operationalize it and tell me exactly what we have to defend against while we are "standing tall" and all those other cool metaphors.

Comment on the extrapolations in your post seems likely to get me banned.

I will just stop to mention the maths...

Back in the late '90s the muslims were at 26 percent of the earth's population.

Today, they are either 1 in 4 or 1 in 5, depending upon who you believe.

Well, given that '1 in 4' is 25% and '1 in 5' is 20%, that means their share of world population has fallen by between 1 and 6% in under ten years... worry over.
