Reader comment on item: Muslims Going Less to Mosques in Europe

Submitted by kman (United States), Jul 17, 2010 at 23:29

In the context of the staggering numbers of Muslims in Europe, the percentage who don't "pray" or go to "mosque" seems almost irrelevant to me. Those who do still go to mosque, are numerous enough and a powerful force not to be taken lightly.

There are always a considerable number of disaffected youth amongst the Muslims who are willing to wreak as much damage and push the envelope as far as they can. They differ from the usual rebels in that they are fighting against police forces and politicians that are unwilling to engage them .

It took less than a few dozen men to bring the WTC towers down on 9/11. They made a considerable impression on this nation and the world.
