- For those accusing me of defending Islam, and a lot have said that this week, I’m defending common sense. There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world right now. 1.6 billion. As someone pointed out on Twitter this week, if Islam really bred terror, we’d all be dead by now. The combined forces in total of Islamic State, Boko Haram, and Al Qaeda, makes up 0.003% of the global Muslim population. Less than 2% of all terror attacks are carried out in the name of Islam. You’ve got more chance of being killed by a bee sting, a peanut, or the NHS. – Adam Hills, ranting on the Channel 4 program The Last Leg
