I will not defend numbers that I flatly indicate are blatant guesswork and personal OPINION. They are apt to be wrong. What I am saying (which seems to be getting missed) is that most Muslims are not a threat to us or anyone. The call for genocide is inappropriate.

Secondly, This has clearly left the scope of the advisability to going to the Maldives to dive. I am already in Dutch for using a poorly chosen word in another thread that offended someone. I won't be party to a call for genocide.
