A point about Muslim extremists: what we mean by this is really the middle eastern Muslims. They make up about 14% of the world's Muslims. Half of the world's muslims live in Indonesia and India. A large number of Muslims also live in central Asia, formerly ruled by the USSR. These types of Muslims are what we would call "liberal", the ones we call "extreme" are by and large found in the Middle East.
