The polls aren't helpful here so your number is likely very wrong

Well, I don't think this is quite right either. It's possible you're getting people who aren't aligned with ISIS but are nonetheless hostile in some way or other. As has been noted a bunch of times, even Al Qaeda is hostile to ISIS.
I'm not at all suggesting that a bunch or even any of these refugees resemble members of Al Qaeda or trying to be alarmist, I'm just saying the situation is more complicated than some who I've seen posting things to the effect of, "these are the people fleeing ISIS therefore they're anti-ISIS and on our side" would have it.
