Averaged, that is roughly half. I'd say pretty significant and indicative.

Those are some pretty scary numbers if I understood the numbers correctly.
It's a good point. Sure lets say only 3% of muslims are extremists, but if nearly half of the population of muslims in muslim countries are fine with it, even if they don't participate, that's ####ed. I doubt you'll find numbers like that from any other religion or region.
That too me is a culture that breeds hate. I think the muslim countries in which the majority or close to the majority are complacent with violence in the name of islam are sub-cultures where hate runs deep.
