Nobody knows or can estimate the number of Islamic Extremists there are scattered across the globe, since the likes of Al-Qaeda has no clear structure and its members are difficult to determine.
There is surely only a small percentage of the (approx) 1.3 billion Muslims who subscribe to terror.
Within this small percentage, in the United States in 2004 Islamic Extremists commited 57% of fatalities and 61% of woundings where a terrorist perpetrator could be identified. There were 655 terror attacks worldwide in the same year, and almost 2000 people died. Many more in internal reglious war and cleansing operations.
As a direct result of watching The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, 0% of its fanatics gave or followed orders to kill. If the film had 1.3 billion fans, it is estimated none of them would kill in its name since the film does not preach irrefutable values and rules and warn gravely against violation.
The consequences of religious abuse are violent and far-reaching, and since it is an unneccessary practice in the first place even a small percentage of wayward nutters is enough to seal its fate as a bane on modern life.
If you go back to the preacher and paleontologist story you will find meaning that I do not have to prove a single thing about the idea of religion.
