Yep. India is predominantly Hindu. Pakistan is the Muslim part of India that broke away.

 

One thing that is not being mentioned here is what is the percentage of total Christians versus Muslims? To just single out Catholics is a misnomer IMHO.

 

Very good point. I would also like to know how much it is growing in the USA.

I thought extremists in UK land made up 18% :lol:

 

 

Well, they do have to be the biggest, baddest, fastest, strongest, winningest.....shall I go on?

Less that 1% I would say

 

Let's say 1%.

 

World Population: 6,658,200,701

http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/popclockworld.html

 

Times 19.2% = .......1,278,374,534.592 Muslims

 

Times 1% = ........... 12,783,745.34592 Muslim Extremists

 

 

 

That's 12.7 MILLION Muslim Extremists...... :eek:

How would you define it Aces, since you seem to find my definition and guess worthless?

I simply asked what you were basing your estimate upon...and it really does depend on what you define as extremism.

 

I found the following chart in the following Pew Research Center report titled The Great Divide: How Westerners and Muslims View Each Other very alarming.

 

This is really just happening because Muslim families tend to have more children.

More than Catholic families!?

More than Catholic families!?

I don't feel like finding the exact statistics but I would guess so. It does not seem like Catholics in America are having as many children any more, and I do know that, for whatever reason, Muslims (especially in Europe) are having larger and larger families.

I do know that, for whatever reason, Muslims (especially in Europe) are having larger and larger families.

 

They have to, to replace the ones that blow themselves up.

Because every Muslim family, you know, raises sucide bombers.

Nope, just more than any other religion does...

Lets no get off topic. I say good for Islam and its rising numbers :thumb:

VATICAN CITY - Islam has surpassed Roman Catholicism as the world's largest religion, the Vatican newspaper said Sunday.

 

"For the first time in history, we are no longer at the top: Muslims have overtaken us," Monsignor Vittorio Formenti said in an interview with the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano. Formenti compiles the Vatican's yearbook.

 

He said that Catholics accounted for 17.4 percent of the world population — a stable percentage — while Muslims were at 19.2 percent.

The Vatican needs new history books.

The Vatican needs new history books.

I am glad I was not the only person to notice that :lol:

Less that 1% I would say

 

 

I would say 25-35%.

I wonder how many extremeist Christians there are?

Good question, however my query is how many Christian extremists engage in terrorist activities out of supposed religious reasons in comparison to the Muslim crowd.
