What does this mean? To be radical? A belief structure in stringency, whereas there is no middle, or common ground.
On this planet there are roughly 1.2 billion Christians, two billion Buddhists, 1.7 billion Muslims, 1.7 billion Hindu, 500 million Indigenous People, 200 million Catholics, and 20 million Jews.
For argument sake, should each sect have a population weight of two billion people than if there were radicals in each sect (which there are) 0.01% of each sect would be 200,000 people/sect. This would mean that there are 1.4 million fundamentalists willing to kill for their belief. The problem this writer has is that if we, as a Global entity define the enemy as radical Muslim, what about the radicals of other sects. Aren't they as problematic and dangerous as radical Muslims. Before we start judging ones' faith let's remind ourselves that a man that is Christian will fight just as hard as a Jew or a Muslim, or someone who is Indigenous, or a Hindu, or a Catholic, or a Buddhist. Should each sects' radicals be fighting with weapons than how many people are at jeopardy? Who are the 'good guys'? When are World leaders going to defend the masses instead of fueling the eternal war machine that is obvious to everyone around the world, in the name of modern technology and supposed advancement of culture? Last I checked there are good and bad in every culture, not by yours, not by mine, not by his, and not by hers.
