alqaeda1In the US, there’s recently been a great furore over a planned Islamic Community Center to be built near Ground Zero in New York. Inflammatory rhetoric from detractors and anti-Muslim fanatics fans the flames. Inspired by a graphic sketch by Mark Schmidt on Facebook, I created an Infographic which shows the approximate relative sizes of the various parties involved. The chart illustrates the absurdity of gross generalisations which lump all Muslims together with Al Qaeda and discount the fact that lost of americans are Muslims, too. (Many Muslims would also argue the red dot should not be included in the circle containing all Muslims.)
