The "Pipes Dream" still alive and well in the Counter-Jihad

In the comments thread of a recent Jihad Watch report on a Jewish student at Harvard being attacked by a Muslim professor in the prestigious Harvard Club (the one in Manhattan, I think), we see two stalwart long-time Jihad Watch veteran commenters -- mortimer and Wellington -- weigh in on the pressing issue of How Many Muslims Want To Kill Us, and they both sound like the dismayingly nougaty Daniel Pipes with his magical "10 to 15%" number he pulls out of where the crescent moon don't shine.  Among many other essays I've written over the years about Pipes, the reader may want to consult:

Pot shots at the Pipes Dream

The Pipes Dream through a Glassman darkly

The Pipes Dream, revisited

What is Daniel Pipes smoking...

So let's see how old mortimer and Wellington weigh in with their considerable ballast of nearly two decades of wisdom about the problem of Islam:

Many of my dearest Jewish friends are noble souls who want to believe the best about Islam and about Muslims in general. However, they are too often naïve and uninformed about Islamic teachings. I point out to them that though 35% of Muslims are non-practicing, 15% of Muslims are in favor of terrorism. The other 50% are somewhere in the middle.

Excellent post, mortimer. But I would, for the record, approximately double that 15% figure you mentioned (and even if “only” 15% this still amounts to around 240 million Muslim “enthusiasts”).

Meanwhile, let's see what our old friend "The Big W" said to these two bozos, why don't we?

” I would, for the record, approximately double that 15% figure you mentioned” 

Neither of you two knows what the real percentage is; you’re just playin’ Muslim Roulette with our lives. The safest bet is 100% (but that would be “prejudiced” oooohhhhhhh, can’t have that…) 

God bless you, Big W!!!
