Bush does not kill for God. He is a born again Christian, and the LORD hears our Presidents prayers for our country. Because of your name, I don't believe the %s you wrote are correct.

I have two %s for Islamic Arabs. 80% & 18% so what is correct?
Some Muslim jihadist try to strike terror in the hearts of non-muslims to get them to conform. There are different types of terrorism other than Islamic ones. Some Islamic jihadists use terror to terrorize public to comform, some are more militant & fight other country's armed forces.
What % jijad terrorist & what % jihad militants?
I think there are more Muslims who take Islam literature with a grain of salt (discerning) according to conscience & family love. I think it's about 70%. I have more hope for those Muslims.

Amgo, Thanks for your answer. In some ways it is good, but I think your %s are incorrect. Writes like biased for Muslims.
My question wasn't Islamic people so much, but what % of Arabs are Islamic.
Erronious that all religious people are considered martyrs when dieing in battle for God.
The Christian doesn't carry a sword to kill infidels. The Christian offensive weapon, the sword given to us is the Spoken Word of God. The Truth of God sets us free. The original definitian of martyr is witness. Christians were killed for believing in Jesus Christ their LORD & preaching the Good News of reconciliation with God through. A true martyr is a Christian sufferings for faith in Christ.
Also Islam overtook Christian churches before the crusades. Also Iraq used to be Christian until Islam took it over. Islam wants to take over the west, but we have constitutional religious freedom & Thomas Jeffereson wrote (letter), Separation of church & state. Protects USA & Christianity.

Also, to let you know religious freedom was put in the constitution of Aphganistan and now is considered in Iraq. Because of signed petitions for. Also an additional constitution for northern Iraq. There are 1000s of Muslims converting to Christianity in these areas today. God loves them sooo much.
Also Iraq did have weapons of mass destruction. Our government knows about it too. Around the time a natural disaster happened & a dam broke, Saddam sent them to Seria.The media knew but didn't want to publish it. You have to buy the book Saddam Secrets. The author knew. He used to work for Saddam. Author was a christian & refused to be part of the bathe party. Forced retirement. Saddam trusted christians more because they wouldn't attempt to kill him. Author was rehired later about the time of gulf war.

I only got a C in statistics. But perhaps I can give you some information about true Muslims and the peaceful religion of Islam.
I have used the Munir Munshey English translations of the Qur'an. At the Muslim websites below, you can choose from 10 acceptable translations to eliminate any misunderstanding because of translation from the "pure" Arabic. Also, you can read the whole sura so you get the entire context.
Among Muslims there are those who:
a) jihad in the path of Allah with their wealth and their lives (including those who sit at home but give asylum to mujahidin 4:74) = true Muslim
b) those who sit at home (and do not give asylum to mujahidin or jihad in the path of Allah)
c) the handicapped (does not count as a category)
In the Quran 4:95 it says:
The two are not equal: those who sit at home (and do not join the fighting) _ unless they have a reason; they are handicapped _ and those who [jihad] strive hard in the path of Allah with their wealth and lives. Over those who sit at home, Allah has excelled and elevated to a higher honor those who strive hard with their wealth and lives.
Compared to those who sit at home, Allah will award a far greater reward to those who wage a struggle.
8:74 Those who believed, left their homes and waged a struggle for the cause of Allah as well as those who helped and protected them are really the true believers. There is forgiveness for them and a generous rewards.
49:15 The (true) believers are actually those who believe in Allah and His messenger and then do not waver (and do not entertain doubts). With their wealth and their lives, they strive for the sake of Allah. Such are truly the sincere ones
I wonder among those Muslims who sit at home what percent support jihad in the cause of Allah with their wealth and what percent help and protect those who jihad in the cause of Allah and what percent sit at home and do nothing toward jihad?
Killing (qitl) and jihad in the cause of Allah is the hallmark of true Muslim believers. It is not a matter of moderate or fanatic. It is the distinction of a true believer or a rebel.
4:76 Those who believe, do fight for the sake of Allah, while those who reject faith (Islam) fight for the cause of ‘taghut’ _ (all rebellious forces aligned against Allah). So, fight against the minions of Shaitan. Feeble indeed is the wily guile of Shaitan!
Does this include atomic weapons?
8:60 Acquire and prepare all the (military) strength you can muster, including the finest trained horses (and other military wares). With that, you would daunt and deter the enemies of Allah _ your enemies, and others besides them. You do not know them, but Allah (surely) knows them. Anything you spend in the path of Allah will be returned to you in full. You will not be wronged (at all).
2:216 Warfare (for the sake of Allah) has been ordained for you, though it is not something you like. It is possible that the thing you detest might just (turn out to) be good for you. It is possible that the thing you like (the most) might in reality be bad for you. Allah knows (all) while you know nothing (at all)!
I hope that these verses from the Qur'an can give you and others insight into the mind of a Muslim believer and the peaceful religion of Islam. Perhaps you may read the entire sura from which they were extracted so you can get the entire context of the verses.
Do the leaders fight? Yes, sometimes they do, they fight and they get shot at and sometimes they die and become shahids (martyrs). All Muslims look forward to the day when the mahdi (guided one) comes and on to qiyahmah (resurrection day) to be a shahid is a great honor.
Personally, I agree with the words of Robbie Burns when it comes to killing in the name of God.
"On Thanksgiving For A National Victory"
Ye hypocrites are these your pranks
to murder men and give God thanks?
Desist, for shame proceed no further
God does ne want your thanks for murder.
The one page essay by Dr. Walid Phares, "Islamic concept of Al-Taqiyah to infiltrate and destroy kafir countries" explains how a convert will become a terrorist:
http://www.fisiusa.org/fisi_News_items/news109.htm
Phares states, "It [taqiyah] is done to prevent the new converts from seeing the real face of Islam; at least until their faith or mental conditioning is strong enough to make them turn against their own country and people."
Not all Muslims blow up things, yet "jihad in the cause of Allah" "jihad fee sybil Allah" is "fard ayn" "compulsory duty" for all Muslims. Why? There are rules from the Quran for combattive jihad. Read this:
http://www.notislam.com/id8.html
What does the tape from Gadahn mean? Does anyone realize that Muslims are supposed to "dawa" "invite others to Islam" before jihad?
According to al-Mawardi an 11th Century Shafi'i jurist:
The mushrikun [infidels] of Dar al-Harb (the arena of battle) are of two types: First, those whom the call of Islam has reached, but they have refused it and have taken up arms.… Second, those whom the invitation to Islam has not reached, although such persons are few nowadays since Allah has made manifest the call of his Messenger…it is forbidden to…begin an attack before explaining the invitation to Islam to them, informing them of the miracles of the Prophet and making plain the proofs so as to encourage acceptance on their part; if they still refuse to accept after this, war is waged against them and they are treated as those whom the call has reached…
In the Hidayah, vol. II. p. 140 (Hanafi school):
It is not lawful to make war upon any people who have never before been called to the faith, without previously requiring them to embrace it, because the Prophet so instructed his commanders, directing them to call the infidels to the faith, and also because the people will hence perceive that they are attacked for the sake of religion, and not for the sake of taking their property, or making slaves of their children, and on this consideration it is possible that they may be induced to agree to the call, in order to save themselves from the troubles of war… If the infidels, upon receiving the call, neither consent to it nor agree to pay capitation tax, it is then incumbent on the Muslims to call upon God for assistance, and to make war upon them, because God is the assistant of those who serve Him, and the destroyer of His enemies, the infidels, and it is necessary to implore His aid upon every occasion; the Prophet, moreover, commands us so to do."
Islam is insidious, it encroaches on a culture slowly and deliberately. You may be interested to read a document which discusses the degrees of Islam in great detail (50+ pages) -- "From dawa to jihad - the various threats from radical Islam to the democratic legal order":

The Muslim population of the world is around 1,2 billion. One out of five people in the world is a Muslim. They are a vast range of races, nationalities, and cultures from around the globe--from the Phillipines to Nigeria--they are united by their common Islamic faith. Only about 18% live in the Arab world and the largest Muslim community is in Indonesia. Most Muslims live east of Pakistan. Thirty percent of Muslims live in the Indian subcontinent, 20% in Sub-Saharan Africa, 17% in Southeast Asia, 18% in the Arab world, and 10% in the Soviet Union and China. Turkey, Iran, and Afghanistan make up 10% of the non-Arab Middle East. Although there are Muslim minorities in almost every area, including Latin America and Australia, they are most numerous in Russia and its newly independent states, India and central Africa. There are about 6 million Muslims in the United States.

Jihad is not terrorism, it is a high cause of kicking the invader out of your country, 9-11 was not Jihad.
0% of Muslims are terrorists, because terrorism is against islam.
you are a muslim if you don't read the Qura'n

well , let me try to give you the whole story, as i know it (if you have enough time):
first, all %s are approx. , i think that muslims in arab community are not less than 92% , because the major christian community % is in Lebanon where they form 40% of the lebaneese , but lebanon is all about 4 million people , but in Egypt they are less than 10% where egypt population is about 70 million , in Gulf countries (saudi arabia (25million) kwait , qatar ..etc ) there is less than 1% non muslims in all of them , iraq , syria , north africa , i think non muslims are less than 5% .
now , before i move to the next 3 questions , i wanna discuss some of the terminaology of your question :
jihad : jihad in islam means giving a big effort to do something you belive in , but in a general way is always used in giving that big effort to do something for the God , so if i as a muslim awaked up at dawn to pray , and i want to sleep , but i do that for God , so i'm doing a jihad , the same for fasting , the same for doing good to your parents or someone in need , and that good is hard to do or will cost you , so all that is a jihad .
one of those jihad or efforts for God , is when you fight for God at war, now you are doing the greatest thing , putting your own life in danger for your God , and if you died at that war , so you are a martyer , annd i think that this idea is repeating in all religions and in every mankind concept , i mean what kind of honor the soldier have when fighting on a war for america ? he is a hero , and what if he died in the line of duty ? he will be honored as a hero , and what if he sacrifiesed his own life to kill the enemy or to open a gate or defend it ..etc , wow , he would be a legend ...
the reward for jihad : generaly jihad is a good thing to God , so it is rewarded , but for the martyers ; they are promised heaven , becuase they sacrifised their lives for God , what about the 72 martyers? well , it has nothing to do with martyers , it was mentioned in a "hadeeth" which is something maybe said by prophet mohammad , and maybe not , that number canbe right and can be wrong , and any muslim can refuse to belive in that , becuase it is not something basic in islam or something mentioned in Koran ... the only sure thing in islam about martyers is that they will go to heaven , just likein any other religion , martyers go to heaven.
jihad war : now it is easy to explain : is when you are a soldier in a war defending your country , or directly defending your religion (if the war is religious) so if you did that effort in war , and risk your life bravely in that purpose , so you are in jihad in that war .
terrorism : we all know terrorism , it is using terror and killing the civilians to achieve a religious or a political goal .
islamic terrorism : the proplem of muslim terrorists is that they are people who mix "jihad" concept with terrorism , they idea is : the west is against "islam" as a religion because :
1- the occupied our lands for many years
2- they support israel to be istablished in a holy islamic land over the bodies of it's muslim inhabitans"palastinians" , and that israel they made as a crusador base to them in the lands of islam
3- they keep support israel against all surrowinding muslim countries which means , it is not something political but they (the west) want to control and humiliate muslims
4- even when security council try to say something right or honest about that , america use veto everytime to protect israel
so they conclude that "the west" and specially america is at war with islam , so by the rules of jihad we have to protect islam , even by owr own lives , so they do all the terrorism you know through that war they think they have .
the fault of those ideas is that :
1- there is no "declared" war from the west against islam and islamic countries, at least until 9/11
2- attacking civilians is not a "jihad" many of them are ignorants , have a false idea , peacefull people , even some of them could be muslims, so you cant do a mass killing among civilians for nothing and call it a jihad
terrorism organizations :
1-"al-qaeda" of osama bin laden , they adopt the previous ideas, so they are considered terrorists , but they belive in what they do for the reasons i mentioned
2- "Hamas" is a resistance organization formed from the palastinians as a resistance to israel , they refuse the istablishment of israel on the palastinians soil , and because israel used to kill dozens of palastinians they refused to consider civilian israelians as civilians , specially those in settelements because settlements were made by the israeli occupation, most settlers are armed ... now they were elected to lead the palastinian parliment , and made the government ... they used terrorist styles but now they dont because they became formal
3-"hizbullah" is the only organization i can tell they are not terrorists, because they were formed in lebanon as a resistance organization becuase of the israeli invasion to lebanon 1982 , and israel continued to occupy belligerantly south lebanon since then , so hizbullah were formed to resist that israeli occupation , they are on uniforms , well trained , and has a civil branch , they are represented in the lebaneese barliment , and build hospitals and schools , and do many charities , and they are very beloved in the lebaneese community , Europe refused to put them in it's list of terrorism organizations until after 9/11 when the angry america told Europe how you are against terrorism and refuse to put Hizbullah in the terrorism list? and at that time nobody can say no to america , so it happened.
NOW LETS COME BACK TO YOURE QUESTIONS :
1- % of muslims terrorists : like al-qaeda ( want to kill all westerns , use bombing among civilians in western states , cut heads of prisoners ..etc) answer: 0.0001% of muslims
2- % of muslims support terrorism (binladen , el zarqawi) : answer : less than 1% of muslims ... but about supporting hizbullah , more than 80% because they defend their own lands and not terrorists
3- % of muslims read the Koran & other Islamic teachings with a grain of salt & go by their conscience & family love first?
answer : the rest who dont support terrorism : 99%
it took me an hower of writing to write this , and i tried to be very unbaised and honest with you as much as i could , so it will e nice from you to read it and take it seriously, thanks
i apology for my english as i'm not a native english speaker
