Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump on Sunday claimed that more than one-fourths of the Muslims are "very militant", in latest controversial statements adding to his anti-Muslim rhetoric.
"It's (militant Muslims) 27 per cent, could be 35 per cent, would go to war, the hatred is tremendous," Trump told Fox News on Sunday when asked not more than 100,000 of the 1.6 billion Muslims are fighting for jihadist causes.
"You're saying that out of 1.5 billion, 100,000, let me tell you, whoever did that survey was about as wrong as you can get," Trump said.
"Why don't you take a look at the Pew poll that came out very recently or fairly recently, where I think the number ... it's something like 27 per cent are really very militant about going after things ... And you'll have to look at it. They did a very strong study. Let's see what it says. But it's a very significant number. It's not 100,000 people, I can tell you that. It's a ridiculous number," he claimed.
The 69-year-old reality show star and billionaire has continued with his anti-Muslim rhetoric, stoking controversies one after another and drawing flak from the world over including his party rivals.
Sunday's remarks come days after he said he thinks "Islam hates us" and asserted that those having hatred against the US cannot be allowed to enter the country.
He made headlines in December when he called for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the US "until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on".

There have been surveys by Gallup that back Trump up. Taken last year.
Chris Wallace made the 100,000 figure up out of thin air. Wallace comes across as demented. I have heard about that poll Trump referenced; it is in the high percentages of Muslims who are sympathetic to the terrorists and sharia law.
That is why you never see Muslims any where in the world demonstrating in protest of the terrorists.
"You're saying that out of 1.5 billion, 100,000, let me tell you, whoever did that survey was about as wrong as you can get... It's not 100,000 people, I can tell you that. It's a ridiculous number," he claimed.
"It's at LEAST 100,001!
Death to America!"
How many did two Jihadists kill and maim in Boston?
How many did two Jihadists kill and maim in San Bernardino?
How many did one Jihadist kill at Fort Hood American Army Base?
How many thousands of innocent Americans, did a handful of Jihadists kill on 9/11?
The list goes on to a Muslim killing Robert Kennedy.
All I know for sure is that every week I read on the Internet that the Muzzies want to come here, establish Sharia law, and slit our throats. As a Western person of Jewish descent, I fear such a possibility. I see what is happening all across Europe, and I pray every night that Europe and the U.S. don’t get totally overrun by Muslims. I also don’t plan to sit passively and allow someone to slit my throat. I worry about my Christian friends as well.
And who is to say that this is not true with the vetting system we have in this country?
According to Pew Research, approximately 10 percent of world Muslims have a favorable opinion of the Islamic State and terror against civilians. That’s more than 100 million people.

27% is probably a little percentage wise, he is probably waiting for the lib media to whine and then he whips out a study saying it is 54% or something.
I saw another Pew Poll, that specifically gave more numbers on the US. You can get to it from the first poll. The 27% is there for several countries and several continents, but specifically for the US it ranges from 11% to 23% on a variety of issues. The numbers however are 63,000 reviewed not 600, so in that regard he is correct. He said If I remember correctly or I think I read, so, they can crucify him on the exact numbers, but the numbers in the Poll are much, much, higher than they reported.
Klu Klux Klan... by-laws must not be forgotten
the Islamic... by-laws must not be considered
It's not a religion, it's a political system on wheels.
Every poster at the site seems to trash this screed, and support Trump in what he says.
Picture this. You look into your mirror and ask yourself, “did I ever think I could hate Donald Trump so much that I’d criticize him publicly for saying that there aren’t as many muslim terrorists as he said there is?”
WTF has gone wrong with you?
It must have been those moderate ones who set the bomb off in Turkey today. Oh, wait, there is no such thing as a moderate muslim.
The real threat is not a rampaging ISIS in Nottingham, Camels crossing the Alps, or an Islamic Red Dawn. The threat is that the "moderates" don't consider it extreme to undermine and replace other existing religious and social structures with islam.
I might be amenable to the high side if it includes those that are very pissed off
Don’t forget-—their faith allows them to lie to the “infidel’-——so-—what they may tell the researcher could be a likely lie
Not all Muslims are militant. The ones who were forcibly converted to Islam from other religions at the point of a gun or knife are not militant - they’re depressed and want to escape. But millions of Muslims are militant. All it takes are a few to give the rest of us a bad day.
