A lack of clarity

You are confused - on number of issues:

"In today's Islam it is abundantly clear that 10% rules the remainder by brutality and the enforcement of irrational islamism."

!? Where? One can only find case of a "religious led/influenced" governments in countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iran - otherwise the hardcore religous are as a power minority.

For example in countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Qatar, UAE, Tajikistan . . . religion is a feature but they are not really led by religious thought. I would even argue Saudi [despite its unique position among Muslims] isn't either - as their main focus is maintaining the traditional monarchy.

- -

"Only in secular moslem Nations such as Egypt is there even a modicum of rational thought."

There is no real secular [as understood in the West - complete separation of State and Religion] Muslim-majority government.

- -

"Consider that rational thinking is what the Liberal mind despises on all fronts in favour of irrationality."

"Mohammed Deedats Islamic youth crusades were certainly effective in radicalising Moslem youth in the western and middle eastern nations."
