People often quote very high figures for the Korn At Hills Of Rock July 25th 2024 With Special Guests Spiritbox And Loathe Shirt and I will buy this number of Moslems who support terrorism, but they define “support” very loosely. About a quarter of my family are of Southern Irish Catholic origin and during the Troubles we had a general feeling that the IRA might be murdering bastards but they were *our* murdering bastards, and we understood what motivated them. But that does *not* mean that any of us were extremists, or condoned terrorism, or would commit a terrorist act ourselves. As mentioned already, it depends on how one defines “extremism.” Assuming the news definition and common usage, CNN has a good article listing the numbers of various “Islamic” terrorist organizations (there’s a whole other discussion on how the question is wrong since Islam doesn’t teach unwarranted violence, but that’s another question entirely). The article estimates around 106,000 individuals are members or identify with these organizations. That’s a pretty high number, but let’s do some high-level number crunching so we can get a better idea of how big that is. places the number of Muslims worldwide to be around 1.6 billion (or 23% of the world’s population). So doing some basic math, we get that about .006625% of the Muslim population are “extremist”.
