According to several sources there are about 1.5 billion
Muslims worldwide:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_religious_groups

I don't think anyone actually knows how large the radical
Islamic movements are but there have been many estimates and
they exist in all major Muslim populations e.g. Muslim Brotherhood
(Egypt), Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, Taliban etc. etc.

Since the worldwide population of Muslims is so large even a
fraction of a percent participation means hundreds of thousands
even millions of followers...

0.1% of 1.5 billion is still 1.5 million people.

And, the followers of the above radical movements believe
it is OK or even honorable to kill innocent women and children
to advance their cause. They use tactics like bus bombings,
airliner hijacking and crashing into public buildings, and random
untargeted missile launches into civilian population centers.
That is why all civilized and moral people must work actively
against such tactics and groups. But that still does not mean
that almost all Muslims are not lawful, peaceful, moral and
honorable people, they are and many are shocked and disgusted by
any perversion of their religion and acts of violence done in
the name of Islam.

There's no media showing the millions of Muslims standing up aginst them or even showing their supposed outrage.




let us remember,, silence from the media doesnt mean something hasnt or doesnt happen

just to be fair...

In the first Gulf War, Iraq attacked the Iranian army with nerve gas (killing thousands) The Iranian generals demanded development of chemical weapons in order to retaliate

Khomeini refused them saying that weapons of mass desrtruction were not compatible with the teaching of the Koran

Ali Khamenei has echoed that sentiment

so there is a chance that they are telling the truth about only developing nuclear power generation capability




if they had any sense they would develop gasoline refineries. It doesnt make sense that such a large oil exporter would have to import gasoline
