Question your "(islamists) have an impact beyond their limited numbers

There are a billion Muslims and 10-15 percent are Islamists, that's 100 to 150 million Islamists. I wouldn't consider that a 'limited' number of people. You imply their influence is greater than their number would suggest, but at 100-150 million, I would disagree. They comprise a far greater number than the Nazi's who numbered only 8 million by comparison at their peak.
