I believe that is the case with Islam.

With an estimated Muslim population of over 1,200,000,000 even if, somehow, you "knew" that 12,000,000 Muslims were on the "fringe" that still represents only 0.01 of the population.

Let's go crazy and double that number to 24,000,000 that still only represents 0.02 of the population

Not buying that comes close to mainstream, unless you are referring to mainstream bigotry.

So, out of the 1.2 billion Muslims, you're saying that somehow you KNOW that only maybe at most 24,000,000 have what we'd consider extreme views?
