A "huge shortage" of clarity and wisdom

Even if one can characterize the current Global Jihad as experiencing a "huge shortage of terrorism," that should not lead the Infidel into a sense of security. The effort to make the world Islam carries on by means other than terrorism, both peaceful and violent. More from EO:

Boonton,

Therefore one can learn something about a religion by looking at the behavior of its many adherents.

You can make no solid conclusions about a religion based only on the behavior of its people.

Or do you want the thousands around the world rioting, killing, raping, and destroying in the name of Allah to "tell us something" about Islam? Do you want the large majorities of Muslims around the world who support terrorism against America and Israel to represent the Religion of Peace? What are you, some kind of Islamophobic racist?

We can know what we should expect to see from the people of a particular religion by examining its Sources of Authority.

Whether or not a particular religionist is obeying or contradicting their god can only be known by comparing their words and actions to what their god has revealed. (And in understanding the true nature of a religion, it doesn't hurt to look also at its founder(s).)

There is a huge 'shortage' of terrorism if the many millions of Muslims believe as he tells us they believe.

("Huge shortage"? He jests at scars that never felt a wound.)

That's a nice straw man. If it only had a brain!

First, I have not argued that all Muslims believe a certain way, I have argued that Islam's god and prophet require Jihad against the Infidel, which is obvious when you examine their texts.

Second, I would not characterize the world as experiencing "a huge shortage of terrorism," as if that meant Allah does not require war against the Infidel. He does. Every day around the world, countless numbers of people are suffering at the hands of Islam.

Terrorism is only one tactic used in waging Jihad. Look at how effective was the manipulation of some cartoons in silencing and intimidating a militarily superior West. (And there are many other ways to advance the cause of Allah, one of which is misleading ignorant Infidels into arguing against those pointing out simple matters of fact.)

As noted by myself and others here, the lack of widespread warfare by extremely large numbers of Muslims is attributable to many factors including, but not limited to: prudent restraint out of weakness until the time is right, fear, self-preservation, ignorance of Qur'an, apostasy, and an unwillingness to engage in obvious evil.

And the numbers of actual combatants is only the tip of the iceberg into which the West is sailing. Countless others provide financial (Allah takes checks), logistical, moral, and spiritual support to the effort to make the world Islam.
