Is the ''Only a minority of Muslims are radical'' true?

[Thumpalumpacus]

World Public Opinion: 61% of Egyptians approve of attacks on Americans

32% of Indonesians approve of attacks on Americans
41% of Pakistanis approve of attacks on Americans
38% of Moroccans approve of attacks on Americans
83% of Palestinians approve of some or most groups that attack Americans (only 14% oppose)
62% of Jordanians approve of some or most groups that attack Americans (21% oppose)
42% of Turks approve of some or most groups that attack Americans (45% oppose)
A minority of Muslims disagreed entirely with terror attacks on Americans: 
(Egypt 34%; Indonesia 45%; Pakistan 33%)
About half of those opposed to attacking Americans were sympathetic with al-Qaeda’s attitude toward the U.S.

The only nations with majorities listed are relatively small in population compared to places like Indonesia or Pakistan.

So it looks like even this source you've cited would answer your title question in the negative. I haven't run the numbers, but I'd be surprised if majorities of Palestinians or Jordanians would outweigh an Indian or Indonesian maj0rity. India has 180 million Muslims, Indonesia 203 million. Palestine, Egypt, and jordan put together don't reach 90 million, and those are the only three majority "extremist" populations listed above. And you'll notice that two of the three majority "extremist" nationalities don't approve directly of attacks on Americans, but rather, of groups which commit attacks on Americans, which is a different thing, as they may have another reason for approving of said groups.

The statistics you've presented don't support the argument you're making, seemingly.

1. Actually, I did answer your question. The site is just a data-base, it's not making any claim besides compiling data. It's not a wiki; it's the research that is linked is what is in question, not ''challengingthetinyminority''

Nonsense. Reread the opening paragraph:

Have you heard that Islam is a peaceful religion because most Muslims live peacefully and that only a "tiny minority of extremists" practice violence? That's like saying that White supremacy must be perfectly fine since only a tiny minority of racists ever hurt anyone. Neither does it explain why religious violence is largely endemic to Islam, despite the tremendous persecution of religious minorities in Muslim countries.

The bias is clear. That, combined with the fact that they (and you) avoid mentioning two of the three most populous countries -- while at the same time glossing over how such huge populations would change the numbers involved -- gives me reason to believe that, as Mr Agenda asserted, the countries are cheery-picked in order to produce what appear to be startling percentages but, when given a detailed review, wouldn't appear so salacious.
