All of them are bound by their Koranic beliefs to do it. To the extent that they are not really Moslems, it's fewer. Of course most of them just go through the motions to look the part and stay safely in the crowd. So, "hell-bent", I guess about 5%. That's about "hell-bent" level in any group. Mqurice

Re: Nearly one in four people in the world is Muslim. What percentage of them do you think are hell bent on destroying the Jews or the West, do you think? In the USA, a Pew Research Poll puts the percentage at about 26%. Your posts prove denial isn't just a river in Egypt. What Muslims Really Think IBD Editorials ^ \| 23 May 2007 ibdeditorials.com Homeland Security: We can all breathe easier now. The first major poll of the U.S. Muslim community finds that "only" one in four young Muslim Americans would be suicide bombers. The liberal Pew Research Center, which surveyed 1,050 Muslims earlier this year, did its best to put a PC spin on the results. It says its "overall" findings confirm that Muslims in America are "mostly mainstream" compared with their more radical co-religionists in Europe. But as is usually the case with such polls, the devil is in the details. Data buried deep inside Pew's 100-page report put the lie to the notion that our Muslim population rejects extremism. An alarming 26% — or roughly 100,000 — of younger U.S. Muslims say suicide bombings against non-Muslim "civilian targets" are cool. That's really not any more comforting than the 35% of young Muslim Brits who told Pew the same thing after some of them bombed the London subway, killing 52 civilians and wounding another 700 or so. You may recall how pundits here assured us our Muslim youth would never subscribe to such lunacy.
