The polls he's referring to are readily available, although Resurrection may be putting his own spin on the results:

There are definitely large amounts of muslims who support Sharia law and/or acts of violence against civilians.
I think the solution to this lame argument was summed up pretty well already in this thread:

I believe your intentions are to protect the vast majority of Muslims who aren't extremists from being painted as such, but being delusional isn't all that helpful.
I think most people in society can handle the nuance that a small minority of Muslims interpret their religion in a violent way but it's not representative of the population as a whole. Not all Muslims are IS members but all IS members are Muslims.

To paraphrase. There are Muslims that support terrorism and violence. That doesn't mean all Muslims do, and we shouldn't treat all Muslims as if they do.
