There are about 3 million Muslims in the US. How many of them are "radical" based on your definition?
Where you getting 3 million from?
This article says estimates 2 -- 7 million

Quote:The size of the Muslim-American population has proved difficult to measure because the U.S. Census does not track religious affiliation. Estimates vary widely from 2 million to 7 million. What is clear, however, is that the Muslim-American population has been growing rapidly as a result of immigration, a high birth rate, and conversions.
This article says about 4 million in The US, and roughly 10 Million in North America

Quote:... Nevertheless, both Christian and Muslim sources assert that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the United States.25 The Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches 2000 gives the figure of 3,950,000 Muslims in America today.26 Islamic Horizons states that there are eight to ten million Muslims in North America.27 The most common figure cited (the statistic the United States government regularly uses) is about six million.28 The largest concentrations of Muslims are in California, New York, and Illinois — with an estimated 400,000 in the Chicago area.29
I can't find current data. My guess is, these numbers have increased.
Wiki says there's about 1.6B Muslims in the world.
How many of those are radicals?
5%?
1%?
Somewhere between?
More?
5% of 1.6B is more than 75M.
The majority of Germany weren't Nazi's. That didn't stop the Nazi's.
Listen, I'm not against Islam. I have Muslims friends and I'm willing to give people the benefit of doubt and I don't judge people based on color or religion or anything like that. But let's get real here. There's a terrible problem in the world that won't just go away by ignoring it. Millions of Muslims would like nothing more than to kill me and you. I understand
