I know he isn't. He is being dead serious and trying to slightly hide behind humor but his humor button is broken.

Broad brush = IGNORANCE
The sheer number of people that are Muslim is what makes it seem like there are huge armies of extremists. There likely may be with a number that big but the percent of Muslims that are extremists are small.

A small percentage of 1.6 Billion is still a **** load of people.

To try and add perspective again. The O2 arena in London has a capacity of 20,000. That's a lot of people. Let's say there's 1 million people who are willing to commit acts of terror in the name of Islam. You'd have to fill the O2 arena 50 times to accomodate a million people.

Based on the number of terrorist acts currently being committed I'd say that 1 million is a pretty generous assumption.

1 million would represent 0.0625% of the total Muslim population.

Again, people need to put away their broad brushes.

You should post this point a few more times in a row.

Everyone has understood that point for 91 pages, so go ahead and repeat yourself a few more times, get that full blue colour going on in those cheeks.

Because it is a broad brush representation of their points and because you present it with the tact of Donald Trump's pet monkey.
