It is an era in which the world seems to be afraid and ganging up against Muslims.
But are we that powerful and dangerous?
All over the EU there are less than 5% of Muslims.The country with biggest Muslim population is France,and never had any Islamic terrorist attack.Germany has bigger population of Muslims than the UK,but surprisingly enough,the UK had at least one full fledged terrorist attack,but the Germans never had any.They keep themselves busy in making Volks Wagons and Audis instead of waging a war against errrm something.
There must be something different between France,Germany and UK.
Well,maybe the western countries feel threatened by us because we may launch an attack on them.
Lets see...
The annual budget of NATO is more than the annual fiscal budget of a dozen Muslim countries combined.
Only two EU countries,namely UK and France have enough nuclear weapons to obliterate the whole world at least 5 times.The piles of conventional weapons and all the technology,not a hint of which any muslim country will have in the next 100 years,are added bonus.
It will take less than an hour and the push of a few buttons if Europe or the USA,one day decides to wipe us out,and it is there.The capability exists for the last 40 years or so.
On the other hand if the muslims decide to send suicide bombers to EU or USA,wanting to destroy them! a normal human can lift 40Kg of stuff easily.The suicide bomber with 40kg each of explosive,and say 1000 of them will make a combined 40,000 kg or a mere 40 Tons of explosive power.Far less than a single B-2 aircraft's attack.
Human lives lost?
3000 died in 9/11 and 52 died in 7/7.
Estimated 30000 to 40000 in Afghanistan and far more in Iraq,and counting.
At the current rate,there will be an iron curtain between the muslim and non-muslim world in near future.
That won't be too bad,as isolation is eventually not a bad thing.The world left China,saying that they are in humane and communist.After a couple of decades,they are a power to be respected.
If we too are pushed back in our cocoon,it will be good for us.
