How many radical muslims are there?

My concern given the increased number of Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood representatives in Egypt and Palestine is just how many radical muslims there are and how many who may not consider themselves to be radical support them. Somehow, I feel led to believe that there are not that many radical muslims and that they are in isolated places. From these elections, it appears to be more widespread than the media depicts.
