The threat of Islamist terrorism is absolutely real. The attacks in London weren’t unpredictable or undefined. They were carried out by a cell of terrorists who believed that global shariah law out to be implemented, that the Dar al-Harb (territory of war) must be turned into the Dar al-Islam by forceful means.

In order to fight the threat of Islamism, three myths must immediately die. And we in the West must do all we can to put them to death.

Myth #1: Only A Negligible Minority Of Muslims Are Islamists. It’s simply not true that the vast, vast majority of Muslims don’t believe in the goals of Islamism, even if they’re unwilling to participate themselves in the jihad. Bernard Lewis explains, “significant number sof Muslims are ready to approve, and a few of them to apply, this interpretation of this religion.”

As Muslim moderate Zuhdi Jasser puts it:

It's a political movement of 30-40% of Muslims globally; and 80-90% of "establishment" leadership due to "Petro-Islam" of Saudis/Qataris
