You are right in that the number above may be overstated for all Muslims in the world. But...there are definitely Muslim regions where sympathies for killing in the name of Allah are high.

Quote:More generally, Muslims mostly say that suicide bombings and other forms of violence against civilians in the name of Islam are rarely or never justified, including 92% in Indonesia and 91% in Iraq. In the United States, a 2011 survey found that 86% of Muslims say such tactics are rarely or never justified. An additional 7% say suicide bombings are sometimes justified and 1% say they are often justified.

In a few countries, a quarter or more of Muslims say these acts of violence are at least sometimes justified, including 40% in the Palestinian territories, 39% in Afghanistan, 29% in Egypt and 26% in Bangladesh.

Like I said, the majority of Muslims are as concerned as we are. However, the minority of people who do support extremism - or even believe that suicide bombings are justified even if innocents are killed - is pretty high. Even if sympathies across the world range from 50 to 100 million people...still way too high in today's world.
