The context was given - concentric circles; Jihadists & Islamists & the number of people found in said circles. Mehdi's response? "We have the same interests as everyone else". What a dishonest man. Jihadists & Islamists don't have the same interests as everyone else. Nor do highly conservative muslims who aren't Jihadists & Islamists.
And of course, highly conservative muslims, Jihadists, & Islamists, aren't "all muslims". What percentage of the muslim world remains when you remove highly conservative muslims, Jihadists, & Islamists? Roughly 50%? 40% 30%? 20%?
