On terrorism:
Six per cent of British Muslims believe that the 7/7 bombers were acting according to the true principles of Islam, while 7 per cent agree that suicide attacks on civilians in Britain can be justified under certain circumstances, a figure that rises to 16 per cent if the target is the military.

On killing civilians in the name of Allah:
Although 53 per cent said that killing in the name of religion was never justified, compared with 94 per cent of non-Muslims, 32 per cent said that it was. (Telegraph.co.uk)
On the
sharia:
Forty per cent of the British Muslims surveyed said they backed introducing sharia in parts of Britain... (Telegraph.co.uk)
On apostacy:
Nearly a third of [Muslim] 16 to 24-year-olds believed that those converting to another religion should be executed... (Guardian.co.uk)
Now, let's get out a calculator and see what us Islamophobes are up against.
There are an estimated 1.2 BILLION Muslims in the world today. The poll mentioned above only represents "moderate" Muslims living in a free, Western society. I think one can safely claim that in Islamic societies, the results would be much higher.
So, using the very conservative numbers from this poll:
Of the world-wide population, at least
84,000,000 Muslims support the killing of innocent civilians to further the cause of Islam.
At least
384,000,000 Muslims believe
killing in the name of Allah is justified.
At least
480,000,000 Muslims want to live under the
sharia.
The last one is tricky because it applies only to young Muslims. According to
one study, 18.2% of Muslims in Britain were between the ages of 16 and 24 years old.
Using that statistic, approximately one third of that 18.2% when applied to the world-wide Muslim population equals
72,072,000 young Muslims who believe a person should be
executed for leaving Islam. This is certainly an extremely low estimate based on a poll of Western Muslims. The percent of young Muslims - and all Muslims for that matter - would definitely be higher in Islamic societies.
Still think Islamic extremism is an insignificant minority?
