    As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

    United States — Muslim 1.0%
    Australia — Muslim 1.5%
    Canada — Muslim 1.9%
    China — Muslim 1%-2%
    Italy — Muslim 1.5%
    Norway — Muslim 1.8%

    At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

    Denmark — Muslim 2%
    Germany — Muslim 3.7%
    United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
    Spain — Muslim 4%
    Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

    From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.

    They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. (United States ).

    France — Muslim 8%
    Philippines — Muslim 5%
    Sweden — Muslim 5%
    Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
    The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
    Trinidad &Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

    At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

    When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris –car-burnings) . Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam – Mohammed cartoons).

    Guyana — Muslim 10%
    India — Muslim 13.4%
    Israel — Muslim 16%
    Kenya — Muslim 10%
    Russia — Muslim 10-15%

    After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:

    Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

    At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

    Bosnia — Muslim 40%
    Chad — Muslim 53.1%
    Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

    From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

    Albania — Muslim 70%
    Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
    Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
    Sudan — Muslim 70%

    After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

    Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
    Egypt — Muslim 90%
    Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
    Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
    Iran — Muslim 98%
    Iraq — Muslim 97%
    Jordan — Muslim 92%
    Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
    Pakistan — Muslim 97%
    Palestine — Muslim 99%
    Syria — Muslim 90%
    Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
    Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
    United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

    100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim:

    Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
    Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
    Somalia — Muslim 100%
    Yemen — Muslim 99.9%

    The internet chain letter you cut-n-pasted that from is so well known as bullshit that snopes took it apart:

    http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=34302 [snopes.com]

    I'll summarize the very first criticism from snopes:

    > At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
    > Bosnia — Muslim 40%

    Blaming the genocide of bosnian muslims [wikipedia.org] on themselves for being muslim is the height of intellectual dishonesty. Everything else claimed or implied in your unthinking regurgitation of evil is on the same level of quality.

    Fuck you runaway you fucking hitler wannabe. I had just started think that maybe you were a decent person, too bad you had to remind us all that you really do have a heart of darkness.

        Yes, dear runaway, you go ahead and retreat into non sequitur. So comforting. Nice. Warm. Fuzzy.

        Never mind that you just posted a cut-n-paste internet chain letter lifted from a book published by one of the largest 'christian' media groups in the country.

        Don't think too deeply about any of that - your mindless drivel is of much higher quality. You have nothing to be ashamed of. No illogic at all. Just purity and wisdom. Something that only your tribe has because your tribe is the best tribe.

      You are intellectually dishonest. Besides that one thing most of the other comments while deriding the post, due nothing to refute the post.

      Muslims do commit genocide on other Muslims. Shiite and Sunni have been doing that for a very long time.

      Fuck you for your apologist stance. You are the same sort of person that did claim in 1940 that not all germans are bad so we should not go to war against them.

    Look! Runaway can do math! I am so impressed. Of course, the problem is that correlation is not causation. Go hide in your Bunker, Runaway.
