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

[TheMessiah]

Before you write this off, read this site.

It has compromised about 50-60 pieces of research which link to large-scale surveys to track religious trends.

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/...-polls.htm

Some of these opinions are scary, here is a snippet:

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.

Those figures are scary. They are not all terrorists, but as Sam Harris said in his video with Cenk from The Young Turks, majority populations in many Islamic countries hold beliefs which cannot be described as anything other than radical.

(Here is the video btw if anyone wants to see TYT get bitch slapped).
