A VERY conservative number is 15% of all Muslims support terrorism.

There are 1.3 billion Muslims in the world, accoding to http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html

That is 195 million who support terrorism

Ref:
From a PEW Research study in 2005: In Turkey, Morocco and Indonesia, 15% or fewer now say such actions [terrorism] are justifiable. In Pakistan, only one-in-four now take that view (25%), a sharp drop from 41% in March 2004. In Lebanon, 39% now regard acts of terrorism as often or sometimes justified, again a sharp drop from the 73% who shared that view in 2002. A notable exception to this trend is Jordan, where a majority (57%) now says suicide bombings and other violent actions are justifiable in defense of Islam.

Turkey people demonstrated against radical Islamofascism today. "We want a secular country."

If a country is doing a little better there is less adherence to the radicals...but Jordan, Huh?

Wellll...looks like its time to invest in Boeing, etc. It will take a lot of fly overs to clean up the MOOOSLIMS...that is unless the "moderates" clean up Islam( yeah, right, like I am really waiting on that one!)

Yes, 15% of all Muslims actively support terrorism, but remember the disclaimer put forth in the program. There is no estimate of how many Muslims do not actively support the terrorism, but are sympathetic to it.
