Actually, and it is usually the case in most situations, the moderates far outnumber the extremists. The problem is that moderates are just that, moderates.

It's more the impact than numbers.

Remember elementary school? In a class of 20, the 2 troublemakers were sufficiently diluted. If the number of troublemakers were 4 or 5, the entire class would be disrupted.

Even if the number of "moderate" Islam is 70% or even 80%, the impact and numers of the remaining "troublemakers" is catastrophic.
