Thank you for providing this information. It’s quite interesting and I’ll definitely delve more into this in the future.
I also looked into the writer, Walid Shoebat, and from what I can tell, in addition to lambasting radical muslims, he also advocates for American muslims who aren’t radical. It seems that, despite his conversion from islam to Christianity, he does NOT feel that all muslims are savages. I’d be interested to hear what he has to say about this post’s topic of Dutch politician Wilder’s call to expel ALL muslims from his country and shutter their mosques.
In the information you provided above, Mr. Shoebat states the following:
“… From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia law as a weapon, and jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in: (Etc) …”
… why is it that there are over six thousand Christian churches in Iran?
Please see the links I provided in my first comment in this post (regarding Christianity in Iran). There are pie charts about the religious makeup of Iranians which show that muslims are well over the 60% threshold that Mr Shoebat claims turn them into genocidal maniacs (he himself claims Iran is 98% muslim as per the data you shared). He states:
“… After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some state-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in: (etc) …”
If what Mr Shoebat states is true, how can there be ANY Christian churches or jewish synagogues in predominantly muslim countries? I just picked Iran as an example, but look into others.
Finally, if you have any inclination to read the fuller.edu link I provided in an above comment, I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts on it. I scanned it and at first glance it seems well-reasoned, will delve into it again.

So far as I know, there are SOME Christians in almost EVERY majority-Muslim country. Removing every single Christian is probably not a high priority once the overwhelming mass of the population is Muslim, and in the case of Iran, which (before the Shah's overthrow) had a vibrant Christian community and was far more Western and secular than most nations in the region, there may be unique reasons for not persecuting the Christians even more than they already quite clearly are. ("In 2023, the country was scored zero out of 4 for religious freedom."[65]
"In the same year, it was ranked as the 8th most difficult place in the world to be a Christian."[66])
Whether Iran is unique in their level of tolerance for a small Christian minority (~150,000 in a nation of 87+ million) or not, we can see the process that Shoebat describes taking place all over the world: as a Muslim minority grows, it becomes more violent (including gang-raping the local women; see Sweden and London as well-known examples) and works tirelessly convert the host nation to Islam.
I'll add that the majority of Muslims in many nations (perhaps not in all) seem to be decent, honest people and no threat to others. On the other hand, my father told me that the man he sat next to on a plane flying out of the Middle East was a pleasant, intelligent guy and a good conversationalist. As they got up to leave after landing, he told my dad "There is one thing I have to do before I die. I have to kill a Jew." (No, my family isn't Jewish)
And that's what you get from a religion that TELLS its people that non-believers must be converted or killed. Muslim violence against "infidels" is a real thing and it is built-in to Islam. That's not true of Christianity, Jainism, Hinduism, or Buddhism.
