I think people underestimate the amount of Islamists in the world, a study conducted by Pew's Research Center (http://www.pewforum.org/files/2013/04/worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-full-report.pdf) shows staggering amounts of muslims around Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and South/South East Asia support Sharia Law being the law of the land (page 46). Of course the muslim populations in each country differs and can be small, but the numbers are there.

I don't really care whether the authorities of the accused religion condemn actions taken by radicals of that religion. I simply care for a solution to radicalism altogether.
