What many people here don't understand is how you can be so sure that a billion and a half Muslims all think exactly the same, all follow the Koran to the letter of your interpretation of it, and are all 100% committed to our destruction. If you can explain that with more than anecdotal evidence, or videos of a guy pandering to the prejudices of his audience, I'll gladly join your crusade. I'm too lazy to pray five times a day.
The difference is, other religions do not command you to kill the infidels/kafirs, stone the harams, or call for jihads. Islam as religion is dangerous - and can be used by 'Muslims' to justify extreme actions.

One thing I agree with you on the number. It doesn't take all muslims to be devout believers to start affecting your life as you know it. Google 'Ambon Jihad,' Jakarta riot, Poso Jihad, Iraqi Christian prosecution and so on.

You may choose to ignore it since you haven't lived through it.
