*I don't think that I claimed that "the Moderates were
more numerous than the Militants" or if I did I had
different notions of "moderates" and "militants" in
mind from those you use. You seem to define "moderate
Muslims" as those who support the policies of the US,
Israel, and the US-sponsored regimes in the region,
and "militants" as those who don't. While I also
haven't got access to exact numbers or percentages,
and there are indeed obstacles in the way of obtaining
reliable information here, I suspect that the first
will be vastly outnumbered by the second.
O.K.
