The numbers truly are quite staggering. While it is impossible to get an exact count.. there have been estimations. Of course, polls are not an exact science, but can give one a rough idea.

Among them: Monte and Princess Palmer's 2003 study finds an estimated four percent of Muslims in the world are Islamist fundamentalists. That is a HUGE number, considering there are an estimated 1.2 billion Muslims in the world. Islam is the second largest religion on the globe.

I just don't see those types of massive organized cells and networks devoted to wiping out other religions among Christians, Hindus, Buddhists or any other religions.

2 - Define your terms -> 'fundamentalist' does not equal 'terrorist' or even 'militant', on any automatic level
