Silent majority, peaceful majority. Sometimes the same thing, but that's what I meant indeed. Any belief in general that holds one or more of the above examples as a principle. Cannot call itself peaceful. Islam as a religion needs to undergo a significant reformation before it becomes compatible with any progressive culture.
There's absolutely no doubt the Saudi's could sort the problem out, but when it comes to such matters it becomes a little 'tribal' They stand more to gain by doing nothing. The USA & UK haven't helped themselves by painting a bulls eye on ourselves over the last few decades. Blowback from funding it ourselves, guns & Oil involved.
Trump might actually win, this is truly frightening. A man with no real policies has run his entire nomination campaign on building a wall to keep Mexicans out, and threaten a ban on all Muslims (except his rich Saudi business mates) entering the USA. After watching his speech the other night I was left horrified actually, at both the level of idiocy Trump supporters indulge in ( Not unlike Farage & UKIP ) and the realization that Trump, really can win this now..
