It doesn’t matter if 99.5% of Muslims are peaceful, the rest have the weapons, financial backing and will to conduct jihads. They are the ones with the power to control the others. The vast majority of Muslims have allowed the jihadis to prosper because they are afraid to protest. They are like the “good Germans” who didn’t resist Hitler until it was too late to stop him. Until most of the 99.5% get proactive and remove the jihadi threat, the outside world will never be able to end the violence.

PS: By the way .5% of 1 billion = 5,000,000 jihadis.
