Good god, mate (and I mean that derisively), where the hell do you think most of the Muslims are?
Scary as it apparently is to you: they're everywhere!
* Distribution of Muslims * Africa 308,660,000 27.4% Asia 778,362,000 69.1% Europe 32,032,000 2.8% Latin America 1,356,000 0.1% North America 5,530,000 0.5% Oceania 385,000 0.0% World 1,126,325,000 100%

Also on that site: "Although Islam is often associated with the Arab world and the Middle East, fewer than 15% of Muslims are Arab".
Tell me, for entertainment purposes only, what percentage of Muslims
worldwide do *you* think got a cheap thrill out of 9-11? What percentage
think Osama is a hero? I came across with an indicative poll. Now you put up
or shut up.
Based on conversations with Muslims and based on the reactions of many Muslims to the terrorist activities by some people who insult Allah by calling themselves "Muslim", I expect it to be < 1% (yes, less than one percent).
