17 out of 24 involve muslims on at least one side
which comes out to approx.
71%(17*100/24). Muslims constitute approx. 15% of the world's population
(9E8*100/6E9). This shows that muslims are 4.7 times(71/15) more likely to
be involved in some sort of insurrection, rebellion, terrorism etc. If we are
to assume that there is nothing genetically wrong with muslims(i.e. their
violent behavior is a result of upbringing rather than their genetic makeup)
we must conclude that their violence stems from their culture. However
customs of different muslim groups vary widely throughout the globe and yet
the 'violence' factor remains. Therefire we must look for one constant that
is present in every muslim community throughout the world. The only constant
that is present everywhere in the muslim community by definition is ISLAM
Therefore we can conclude that the underlying reason
for the muslims' violent
behavior is the violent message of Koran.
