A recent poll stated that "only" 7% of Muslims deemed themselves fundamentally radical.

"Only" 7% of 1.3 BILLION that is.

If you do the math (91 million) ,thats alot of folks who would find violent jihad against percieved enemies of Islam acceptable.So many people that the 'moderates' ,who in reality are far more scarce than were led to beleive, do become more or less irrelevant in the overall scheme of things.
