    Great analysis. It’s too bad leftists can’t or won’t recognize truth, but this information is essential in defeating the lies about Muslims and Islam. Now it can honestly be said that polls show that over half of the Muslims in the world are radical.

    Of course, that makes polls Islamophobic…

    Sharia law is a radical islamic legal system practiced or at least supported by a wide majority of muslims. Ben affleck knows nothing about islam but he plays a know-it-all on TV.

      “but he plays a know-it-all on TV.”

    • dg barrett

      When one becomes that rich no one around you will say no or you’re crazy. But such rich idiots should stay off talk shows when they’re not promoting their latest artistic effort. Oh, yeah, Ben was doing that (Gone Boy).

      • Elizabeth capecod

        Ben is too thickheaded to realize that his politics alienate a significant number of people who then avoid his movies because we can’t stand him.

      “Sharia law is a radical islamic legal system”

      No, it isn’t. Sharia law as practiced in some middle-eastern Arab countries may be such a system, but sharia law in most of the world is just ‘the law’. Not every iteration calls for stoning, hand cutting, etc. even if the provisions are there.

      You seem to be conflating ‘Muslim’ with ‘Arab’ – they and their neighbors, including Israel, are the ones that portray such an image of radicalism and intolerance. Islam in Asia (by far the largest population at over 60% of all Muslims) is positively benign.

      I live in a sharia country, it is, on a day-to-day living basis, indistinguishable from living in another moderate Asian country, a European country or living in the US – but there is less violence, less general crime and people are friendlier and more willing to help their countrymen.

  • Peter Fogel

    Great video Ben. I always enjoy reading your articles and listening to your videos. You and Daniel Greenfield are two of my favorite bloggers.

    • Scar

      I echo your sentiments. I also enjoy watching Ben slice-up progressive idiots during an occasional televised debate, usually on Fox News. You can tell by his expressions that he truly enjoys his work! Keep it up, Ben. The truth will keep us free (hopefully!).

      • Peter Fogel

        Yes, he does enjoy himself and is a fearless debater. He has all the FACTS and knows how to use them to demolish the opposition.

  • Brad_Brzezinski

    The percentage of radical vs. moderate Muslims is not necessarily very relevant in any case. The Nazis started out as a small group but facing no opposition, managed to take over. Germany was a highly civilized society in a way that most Islamic countries are not.

  • punditwannabe

    The Libs will say that Sharia law isn’t radical, it’s just like our laws, only a leetle bit stricter. You see?

    • Zootalaws

      I live under sharia law. I am a lot less likely to be shot by a policeman than living in the US. I am a lot less likely to be imprisoned than living in the US. I am a lot less likely to have all my worldly goods expropriated than living in the US.

      Maybe you should stick to subjects you actually know the least fucking thing about?

      • punditwannabe

        You’re right, you guys are the bomb. No pun intended of course.

  • dg barrett

    Could we start a campaign to stop the media’s constant
    and incorrect translation of Aluha Akbar as ‘GOD is great”? Allah is
    not God. The God that both Jews and Christians speak of and know is God
    Almighty, God Most High. There is none beside Him or above Him. Allah was a
    figment of Mohammad’s imagination and/or the result of a bad dream after eating
    something too spicey. If the media want to translate it as “Allah
    is great”, go for it. But don’t malign God’s Holy Name by equating
    Him to a false idol-god named Allah who is neither God, nor great.

    • SCREW SOCIALISM

      mohammed was a prophet – of satan.

      • dg barrett

        Amen. I forgot to mention that. Mo was truly inspired, but not from God. Mo’s followers over past 1400 years consent to the evil falsehoods perpetrated on the world.
        P.S. Screw Socialism too. -_-

  • redleg

    That’s some interesting stats. It closely parallels my own thoughts on the subject of so-called “Radical Islam”. I’ve been of the opinion for several years now that in the Muslim world, 90% would either be happy to participate in the Third Great Jihad against us or could be convinced to participate or would simply hold the coats of the beheaders.

    Of course if you believe PM Erdogan, there is no such thing as moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it.

    Western deconstruction or Obama maruna about Islam is just a plain ordinary lie. Islam is not Western in any sense and is incompatible with our values and culture. Islam is the Eastern version of Hiterian Nazism: a conquest philosophy; a religion and a state combined. Islam is nothing more than a political, social and military philosophy that hides under the rubric of a religion.

    No Mr Obama, Islam doesn’t mean peace,. It means submission. Submission to what? To the will of Allah the pagan moon god of the Jahiliyya period. Itah is not Allah. Mo lied and 640 million people have died because of that lie. Itah is the Triune God. Allah is not the greater. He is the usurper, the greatest of deceivers, the most proud one. His fate has already been determined. Allahu Akbar? Not even close.

    • Zootalaws

      And how much time have you spent in the ‘Muslim world’? And how much do you ACTUALLY know about Islam, as opposed to reading blogs and listening to biased Jewish opinions about Islam?

      You’re like some Euro telling us he knows what it’s like living in Bumfuck Arkansas because he watched some documentary made by idiots wearing camo and mumbling through their beard.

    Sharia Law is antithetical to our Constitution and anyone who believes in it should never be allowed to become a citizen of our country. We should start deporting these radicals and stripping them of citizenship. BTW, Ben is so cute, besides being so brilliant. : )

  • Zootalaws

    There are a similar number of passages in the bible that call for genocide, rape, infanticide, etc.

    What’s your point?

  • Zootalaws

    The point is, if you judge more than a billion people on what was written in the Middle Ages, you need to do the same for Christians and Jews.

    More than 60 percent of Muslims live peacefully in Asia, yet are judged on the behavior of a minority of Arabs
