    Register Sex Offenders in the United States represent only 12 ten thousandth of the population. THats 400,000 registered sex offenders. Small problem or not?
    to put in other terms, that's 1,693,320 Sex Offenders in China.
    That's 8,550,000 people in the world that would be eligible to be registered sex offenders on the planet. And it's a good educated guess that for every sex offender that has been convicted there are at least 3 that have not been caught.
    A small percentage all over the world amounts to the population of Canada if those trying to kill people amount to no more than 12/10,000 of 1% of the population

    I think you miss his point.

    Perhaps it is a small percentage of Muslims.

    But to dismiss them as such ignores the fact that - as you point out - it still leaves a significant raw number of radical Islamists. More important, that small percentage can wreak a hell of a lot of damage.

    The world wide Muslim population is 1,600,000,000. THat's somewhere between CHina and India as a population. If only 1 out of every 5000 Muslims world wide is working towards an Islamic planet, there are 320,000 of them.

    Playing the percentage game with such large raw numbers does hide the problem.

    THat being said, the messages of Peace clearly are a message to the Muslims: We are better than you.

    Why stop with Cruz's idea? Why not the same treatment for neighborhoods with high percentages of firearms owners, a far clearer and more present danger to other Americans?
