Peaceful Majorities: Do They Matter?

We all know that most people in the world – whatever ideologies they adhere to or are part of, either because of circumstance or birth (including the more militant ideologies) are decent, upstanding and peaceful people with no desire to hurt others around them.

However, this ‘peaceful majority’ argument is often trotted out by the (usually ignorant of the facts of these ideologies) politically correct folk, and often by the adherents of those ideologies themselves, as a reason not get ourselves too concerned about the minority who would do these things and seek to harm others to propagate their cause, and is used as a smokescreen to cause those of us that are ignorant of what’s really going on and written in the texts of these ideologies to remain asleep and assume all is well and there is really nothing to worry about. As if by simply existing, the peaceful majority somehow cancels out the threat of the non-peaceful minority.

Well, like Bill Still – the maker/uploader of this video, I won’t attempt to explain how this works any further – except to say that one thing history should have taught us over and over but that we fail to recognise, is that the peaceful majority may be far less important than we think, but will let someone who is actually from a region of the world particularly relevant to this issue, and who grew up and experienced first hand what it is like to live under these ideologies explain for us.
