If even 1% of them (15,000,000) was "radical" enough to be feared, I would think we'd have more than the occasional suicide bomber in Iraq? How come there is no news of any major battle? It's always either "roadside bomb" or "suicide driver". Do any of them own guns? They can't get two hundred dudes together or what?

Thank you. I've raised this point before.
Even assuming that there are as many radical Muslim terrorists as our entire armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan (150K), that's still 1/100th of 1% of the total Muslim population.
Compare that to the fact that approximately 1% (100x as many) of the US population are felons or currently incarcerated.

No, Muslims don't scare me.....
What bothers me is fanatacism in any form be it Religious, political or personal. Muslims and Islam doesn't have the market cornered on fanatacism.... I point you to skin heads, KKK, (mostly white - mostly claiming to be Christian), David Koresh, Jim Jones (both white - claiming to be Christian)....
What you don't see in the Iraqi mess is the fact that this is not traditional war such as WWII and others. The insurgents are fighting a guerilla war. That is why we could never "win" (whatever that means). You cannot fight when you can't identify the enemy. Guerillas live among the general population, dress like them, have their munitions stashed in public places like schools, private residences, hospitals and the like. They use women, children and other civilians as cover and as shield. You don't know whether the person coming toward you on the street is an innocent person or one wired with bombs.

Yes!! All it took was a handful of Muslims to cause 9/11! That one can cause a lot of damage. If they put 200 dudes together at one time there would be more chance of leaks. More of a change of us knowing what they are doing. The less who know about the plans the less chance of people finding out.
Look at Oklahoma City Bomber it took two people to blow up the building and change the lives of hundreds for ever.

They would be screwed in states like Wisconsin where the majority of people are gun owners. There would be a bloodbath in the streets and it wouldn't be a good outcome for them.
People in the US love their country and way of life that stuff will not be allowed to happen.

Yes. You'd have to be pretty dense to not see the threat. If they ever get organized, we're in big time trouble.
