10% of a billion is 100 million people. That's the number I've heard from some Muslims living in the states for the number of people that are extremists. "It's only about 10% of Muslims that are like this". Again, 10% of a billion is 100 million.
I don't know if that numbers accurate or not, but if it is, that's a lot of people with a lot of hate over something like a cartoon or something that's critical of their religious book.

Indeed it is. I have no idea how accurate that figure is either, but that sounds like a good guestimate just based on observations.
But again, comparing the middle-eastern world to the western world is one thing, comparing Islam to Christianity is ignorant. What is the percentage of extremist American Christians? The ones that attend gay marriage protests, burn Harry Potter books and want to kill doctors? Maybe 1%? That means there is roughly 1.6 million of these people in the USA. Saying "the difference between Muslims and Christians" is just stupid. Each has their bands of radical douchebags that are a serious danger to the world. And as far as Kabul is concerned, thats pretty much par for the course, so many of those people are so extreme, in a country where infidels are regularly stoned to death, previously by state law, this really shouldn't be news
