So, for example, if only 31% of British Muslims think suicide bombings are sometimes justifiable, or only 35% of Muslims worldwide think there are circumstances where women should be subjected to honour killings, that's still pretty horrific. Whether it's 27% of Muslims who support murdering apostates or 23% or 20%, there's a widespread problem; these can't be considered fringe beliefs.

I can't watch the video at work, so it may be covered in there, but I'm wondering how the demographics break down in terms of if these beliefs are more heavily concentrated depending on geography, class, and religious sects.
