Tolkin,

You have to understand the marginal theory. When the economy shrinks by say 5 percent, it is recession. Think of the scanario when un-employment in the US is 30 percent, there will eb chaos, govt will be changed and many economists will loose their jobs and new theories will be made to explain the phenomenon. No one talks about the 70 percent who are employed.

hence to change and review the premise of the religion, when thousands of scholarly mullahs are teaching killings as jihad, there is no need for more than 50 percent of all muslims to be jihadis.

The few mdrassas of pakistan, the bombings in london and 9/11 etc are an indication, is the canary that has fallen over, to announce that there is something toxic in the book.

Coming back to your earlier car anology, there is no need for several cars to crash and buirn due to tyre fault to make a million tyre re-recall, one or two is enough if one can find something systemic, it is not statistics, it is causal.

Read the book and look for the causal that motiovates muslims from all kinds of societies, the rich of the 9/11, the poor fo waziristan to become suicide bombers.

Therefore, the Koran must be understood as an amalgamation of 2 forms of content: The message alleged to be from God to Muhammad in order to pass on to humankind. The other element are stories or passages relating to Muhammad's prophetic activity, as well as God's advice directly on Muhammad's prophetic activity.

To reiterate& quote from my earlier post

"Islam is very loose and easily feigned religion ..Any body can call himself Mousavi or Atta or Even Osama orAyman These are peope are not of religion but" Political crazy "...

Any crime is not commited by hindu ,christian jew or Muslim but by CRIMINALS .It would be like Americas Policy on Christians b/c majority of American are christians,not withstanding the fact that that rt.wing americans are quite UNCHRISTIANS

How can you attribute these destructive peoles as directive in Qoran...Any body is entitled to theorise cause and effect relation ship to a particuler incident .If you ask the terrorist some of them like to be called 'Free Dom fighters'not that i think there ways and interpretation are correct .If you say the religion of Criminal or incident of person is caused by or due to there RELIGION then there are much more incidents should be attributed to non islamic chritians in particular as they were coloniser all over the world.But again i DONT think it was there religion drove them to it
but economics or political carzyness just as fight of communism ,native Americans against Anglosaxon ,ireland against england ,Ltte against NonTamils ,Naxalites .We dont equate that to Religion.The 9/11 terrorists were not madarssa pupil,Madarsas have been the only school in india before independence and peole like Rajender Prasada,prem Chand first had only that avenue of any educatin
of course now it is primary schools .Take a look around be it Israel, palestine ,iraq ,Waziristan ,Afganistan even American dont believe they are result of any "theolgy" but fight within there areas with non citizens of that area be it Iraq Palestine Afganistan Waziristan....

M F Hussein is a criminal. He is absconding not to face legal proceedings ( like terrorist Dawood Ibrahim). If you are morally string, face the law of the land. These moslems living in India has second ( or first) house in Middle East and Pakistan. They commit crime here and leave the country to avoid prosecution. This dirty smart chap (Mother F***er Hussein) even transfered all his property to someone else, such that Govt. even fails to confiscate property, in case the person is absconding.
