It's true that there are extremists in abundance, but not as many as one would think. I've read that it's less than 1/4 of 1%, if that many (probably far fewer than that). Problem is the ones that ARE extreme get a LOT of attention when they pull stuff like this (which is ironic since it is contrary to Islam on SO many levels to do these things).I'm not a Muslim, but I've studied it quite a bit as an intellectual pursuit recently since I found myself angry at Islam and didn't know *why* I was angry at it, and figured the best thing was to gain an understanding of it.
