It may be in the minority, but 20% of one billion is still a lot of people.

I think that number is probably hard to nail down if you're trying to establish how many of them really are part of the terrorism campaign and network as opposed to expressing sympathy for radical Islam. I don't know what the percentage is. But as always the bulk of the people are not the ones doing the kiling. Since a linchpin of his argument is demographics I think that's worth poitning out.
