&gt; majority of Muslims just want to live in peace, just like everybody else<p>I think one of the major issues is defining peaceful and non-violent. From my personal experience (I am from a Muslim country), I have seen many Muslims who would not commit violence themselves, but they do not have any trouble if some extremists commit violence. Some would even give moral justification of the violence. In our country&#x27;s atheist community we commonly joke &quot;Extremists want to kill us, Moderates want Extremists to kill us&quot;. FWIW, apostasy is punishable by death in some Muslim countries.<p>To sum up, almost all the Muslims are non-violent, but how many of them are truly peaceful? You will be very surprised to know the number.
