Just curious (and I didn't see any data substantiating the "dominate the lives of millions" statements)... But can you produce data substantiating that, of a group of 1.3 billion, there are not "millions" of muslims who follow the Islamist banner or belief system he was referring to? I hope you have it. The lunatic fringe element argument is comforting... the polls and reality seem to be debunking it however. Oh and BTW, hi kumar.

Hi kumar...if one inserts <worldwide number fundamentalist Muslims> into google, there are quite a few sites and many numbers...(BTW, also do this but insert Christians instead of Muslims) If one thinks there are a mere 5% of the total of whatever faith...then one quickly determines there are many more Muslims who are willing to try to "kill America and Americans".... 5% of "about 1.3 Billion people" is several million people...

Please substantiate that with irrefutable data Well Kumar... I use my own version of Drake's Equation: seds.org 1.3 Billion muslims.. 40% of them under the age of 18 (as per National Geographic last year) equating to 520 million falling under that age demographic. If only 1% of those 520 million have militant tendencies, and/or a willingness to commit violence on behalf of waging "Jihad", that will result in 5.2 million muslims holding such a belief..
