I know that we portray Islam and all Muslims as that, but there is 1.8 billion Muslim followers of Islam. The jihadist ideology that you talk about—it's an ideology. How can you ever win this thing if you don't address it ideologically?
Frank, what I find so amazing is since the beginning of this panel, not one person mentioned Muslims. We are here against Islam, or we're launching war against Muslims. And I assume are you an American? You're an American citizen. So as an American—my name is Sab Amed. I'm a law student at American University. I am here to ask you a simple question. I know that we portray Islam and all Muslims as that, but there is 1.8 billion Muslim followers of Islam. We have 8 million plus Muslim Americans in this country, and I don't see them represented here. But my question is, how can we fight an ideological war with weapons? How can we ever end this war? The jihadist ideology that you talk about—it's an ideology. How can you ever win this thing if you don't address it ideologically?
Frank: Well, um, great question. I am so glad you're here, and I am so glad you brought that up because it gives us an opportunity to answer. What I find so amazing is since the beginning of this panel, which we are here about the Benghazi attack against our people, not one person mentioned Muslims. We are here against Islam, or we're launching war against Muslims. We are here to discuss how four Americans died and what our government is doing. We were not here to bash Muslims. You were the one who brought up the issue about most Muslims, not us. And since you brought it up, allow me to elaborate with my answer. There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world today. Of course, not all of them are radicals. The majority of them are peaceful people. The radicals are estimated to be between 15 to 25%, according to all intelligence services around the world. That leaves 75% of them peaceful people. But when you look at 15 to 25% of the world Muslim population, you're looking at 180 million to 300 million people dedicated to the destruction of Western Civilization. That is as big as the United States. So why should we worry about the radicals, 15 to 25%? Because it is the radicals that kill; because it is the radicals that behead and massacre.
When you look throughout history, when you look at all the lessons of History, most Germans were peaceful, yet the Nazis drove the agenda, and as a result, 60 million people died—almost 14 million in concentration camps; 6 million were Jews. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. When you look at Russia, most Russians were peaceful as well, yet the Russians were able to kill 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. When you look at China, for example, most Chinese were peaceful as well, yet the Chinese were able to kill 70 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. When you look at Japan prior to World War II, most Japanese were peaceful as well, yet Japan was able to butcher its way across Southeast Asia, killing 12 million people, mostly killed with bayonets and shovels. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. On September 11th in the United States, we had 2.3 million Arab Muslims living in the United States. It took 19 hijackers—19 radicals—to bring America down to its knees, destroy the World Trade Center, attack the Pentagon, and kill almost 3,000 Americans that day. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. So, for all our—I'm glad you're here, but where are the others speaking out? And since you are the Muslim representative—say the applause till the end. Thank you. Thank you. And since you're the only Muslim representative in here, you took the limelight instead of speaking about why our government—and I assume are you an American? You're an American citizen. So as an American citizen, you sat in this room, and instead of standing up and saying a question or asking something about our four Americans that died and what our government is doing to correct the problem, you stood there to make a point about peaceful, moderate Muslims. I wish you brought 10 with you to question about what—how we can hold our government responsible. It is time we take political correctness and throw it in the garbage where it belongs and stop calling [Applause] [Music] calling [Music]. And there will be refreshments afterward. Go ahead. Go ahead, comment. Thank you for your responses, and I do really hope that other Muslims will start showing up at these conservative forums. But you know, as a peaceful American Muslim, I would like to think that I'm not that irrelevant. I would—I'm just as much an American, and I'm very deeply saddened about the lives that were lost in Libya, and I hope that we will find justice for their families. But I—I don't think that this war can ever be won by just the military. You have to address them; you have to bring Muslims to the table to address this. I think everyone agrees that it can't be won just militarily, and I think that everyone has said that. You tell me who the head of the uh, Muslim peace movement is. I guess it's me right now, so thank you. belongs and stop calling is not new and it's only not directed at Israel only. You know, this is why people think, oh my gosh, Hamas. You know, we need to feel sorry for the poor Palestinians. People need to understand that.
