Life almost never works out this way. The fear is never always of violence. Remember, most of the Islamist population is not generally violent. There is a small proportion of them who are violent and fanatical. But, the Islamic population is growing. In a democratic country, that population growth counts - in a very specific way. In a parliamentary democracy, this denouement will be upon us even sooner.

Also, the violent subset of Jihadis, even though, it is small, is also growing (like the rest of the Islamic population), as a proportion of the total Indian population. So, your 1 strong, well-educated kid may keep 50 of the neighbor's kids at bay, but <b>will your one strong, educated grandson control 200 of the neighbour's granchildren?</b> Think in the very long term. Not just a generation or two from now.

Only numbers cannot be the relaible assesment of strength. when it gets too big it breaks again. Islam is not and cannot stay monolith. the rift between shiits and sunnis has never been so great as visible in the lebanon crisis. all the sunni countries sudi Arebia, turky, egypt are on the side of israel and against iran and hesbullah which is shia.
This is contrary to common belief that though muslims fight internally when an external force attacks they unit. staying with islam they would get a proud death, staying with the secular world they would get life of prosperity. some muslims have started to make wise choice.
