Maybe I can pull numbers out of my rear end too....how about all Religions have caused 15 Billion deaths since their inception?

I think he was just talking Communism, which is a secular movement that also caused a lot of deaths. It isn't just religion that hurts people. More often than not, it's politics that uses religion as an excuse. It's convenient.
I mean really, is it the Muslim religion that's the problem here right now, or is it the governments that are using the religion to give their people a common cause, and an enemy to fight? I'd suggest that if you take religion out of it, it's a political cause, and Westerners are contributing it to what is usually a peaceful religion.
