The Arab Spring.....the Arab Movement. Its a false idea from the get go.....as once again you don't have a clue as to how the message is spread, from those Clerics.
Lets see you put up those numbers with the ME and Africa together and see what amount of Muslims make up the Demographic.
Knock the BS off with the red herring crap. You were wrong on the Heretics gaining ground, wrong on they are not subjugating others, wrong about them not destroying others Culture and Religions. As it is real simple to use one incident from the Hebdo issue. To point out about all those illiterates that you were harping about. Yet have no ties to any Terrorists or Islamic Radicals, yet go and burn down Christian Churches and kill Christians. All due to hearing about what took place in France. Days afterwards.
Seems Sisi and Egyptian Muslim disagrees with you as well. Which is why he gave a speech in front of the Same School that BO peep showed up to give his wasted speech. To Tell those Sunni Clerics to get up off their dead asses and start preaching what Islam is about. To take back their Religion. To Speak out to the youth. To not allow those like ISIS, AQ Ansar Al Sharia, to gain control and dictate the course of Islam.
Take it back from who? Who was he talking about? You don't want to play with terminology and say Terrorists do you. Face the facts.....Islamic Attacks have increased throughout the entire planet. You want to play with terminology and call them radicals. That which they would call heretics too.
Also millions of Christians never participated in taking out the Radicals/Heretics in their religion too. Despite the reality that was in their face. 2/3rds didn't even know what was going on with the Leadership for their own religion. Same as the Hindus. So it will be the same for the Muslims. Except they don't have the excuses of those from more ancient times or time from the far past.
There are so many red herrings here it's almost impossible to address them all within 3000 characters, but I'll try. There simply isn't a takeover of Islam by "heretics" because the majority of Muslims don't even live within communities that have been taken over in any sense. The majority of the Muslim world is still going on about its day, buying groceries, going to school, watching movies, working their farms etc. That really is the "reality" of this overblown communal issue that you believe Muslims have. Now, it doesn't matter what Sisi (whoever that is) feels on the issue because well, there are literally thousands of clerics he doesn't deal with or for that matter have anything to do with.
Now, as per the rest of your quote, it's just another giant strawman which has little to do with your initial claim that what happened in the Arab Spring, which was a contained urban event defined by A) ethnicity B) political situation could be applied to a situation which you claim involves the majority of Muslims even though the majority of Muslims don't actually live in any of the places where these groups exist. If you want to continue believing that by throwing out a non-existence reformation of Hindu belief which never really happened as Hinduism and Islam regularly come into conflict in India, or a reformation of Christianity which - let's face it - only really happened in the old Christian world, you're welcome to. Just don't expect people with an understanding of this issue to take you seriously.
By the way, you've yet to answer my question: What can Ahmed the fellah in rural Egypt have to do about Islamic terrorism?
