You take the # of Muslims in the world and the percentage they say are radical......do the math!Where'd you come up with millions? Do you have any facts to back that up or is that what you heard on Fox News?

As of October 2009, there are about 1.57 billion Muslims of all ages living in the world.
How many are radical?
According to Daniel Pipes, Harvard author and Arabologist, it varies by continent and country. In Europe, he estimates 50%, but in Turkey, it is only about 20% due to the active resistance by the government of Iranian incursions, propaganda and influence. In the US, about 80% of mosques are radically led. As concerns worldwide Muslims, Pipes estimates 10-15% are Islamist (radical). (from Answers)
Again, do the math!

Typical liberal....do no work and wait for the info to be handed to you. Don't work for anything. And if anyone does the work, the next step is to criticize their sources....grow up!

Not all Islamists are terrorists. But most terrorists are Islamists.

ACT! for America's president and founderBrigitte Gabriel is a media favorite of conservatives concerned about terrorism.
And in the wake of the attacks on the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, a video of Ms. Gabriel's comments about "Muslims dedicated to the destruction of Western civilization" at a Heritage Foundation forum last June has been revived by bloggers and passed around social media.
"The radicals are estimated to be between 15 to 25 percent, according to all intelligence services around the world," she said, in part, when asked by an American University head-scarf wearing law student about waging an ideological war with Muslims. "You're looking at 180 million to 300 million people dedicated to the destruction of Western civilization..." Gabriel said.
Sunni and Shiite Islam: Do you know the difference? Take our quiz.
Is this figure accurate?
Not according to Angel Rabasa, who is a senior political scientist at the RAND corporation. While conducting research for his latest book, "Euro Jihad," he found that Western European intelligence agencies estimate that less than one percent of the Muslim population living within their borders are at risk for becoming radicals.
Working off of these intelligence estimates, if you were to take one percent of the Muslim populations of Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, by the most liberal of estimates, less than 125,000 Muslims living in these combined countries would be prone to radicalization. Add that to the possible radical population across the rest of Europe and the sum is approximately 325,000 Muslims are at risk of becoming radical.
The key qualifier is "at risk of becoming radical." That doesn't mean that they will pick up a gun or start plotting an attack.
"Radicalization and violent extremism are two different things," Mr. Rabasa says. "Violent extremist behavior only comes about if a radicalized individual falls in with a circle of people who are open to using violence."
According to Rabasa, a "radical" Muslim could also be an individual who belongs to an Islamist organization that is advocating for a Sharia legal system, but does not embrace violence to bring this to fruition.

It's quite interesting that your linked article conveniently leaves out terrorist attacks in the middle east.Why? Because the article would not hold its narrative otherwise. It's also interesting how it seems to consider any and every incedent to be a terrorist attack. Maybe to fudge their numbers so that the article holds its narrative?
So, as you can see you have proven nothing nor have you proven anyone wrong. And in order for someone to have a streak for anything there has to be more than one occurrence. I have not been wrong about anything here in a very long time. Let alone enough to constitute a streak. Yes, there have been differences of opinions but that is all. Now go back to your Alex Jones conspiracy theory BS.

CNN host Chris Cuomo challenged Representative Elijah Cummings (D-MD), who represents Freddie Gray’s district, to explain why people in Baltimore were blaming Republicans for poor urban policy when Democrats, especially African-American Democrats, had run the city for so long.

Mr Thug, I did not link to an article, I linked to a Google search using your words, so I guess you could say you are wrong once again. Speaking of Alex Jones conspiracies, that was very much tongue-in-cheek, glad to see that you fell for it.
Proceed, Mr Thug.
