Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) claimed Wednesday that “between 5 and 20 percent” of Muslims were willing to “use terrorism” to create an Islamic “caliphate."

Sanchez made the comment in an interview on “PoliticKING with Larry King,” which was flagged by Buzzfeed News.

“There is a small group, and we don’t know how big that is—it can be anywhere between 5 and 20 percent, from the people that I speak to—that Islam is their religion and who have a desire for a caliphate and to institute that in anyway possible, and in particular go after what they consider Western norms—our way of life," she said.

Her comments come amid a wave of heightened anti-Muslim rhetoric, sparked by reports that the married couple who killed 14 in a shooting rampage in San Bernardino, California last week were radicalized abroad. GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump has captured headlines in the days since the attack by proposing a ban for all Muslims hoping to enter the United States.

1. Larry King is still around?

A democratic representative from CA said that?!

[KamaAina]

14. She's a full-on DINO

I do, however, give her credit for ridding the House of OxyMoron guest host "B-1" Bob Dornan.

2. that means 80 to 95 percent don't

Crazy fundies in every cult.

6. Thank God we live in a republic and not a democracy; it takes more than simple majorities

to change the constitution.

5. It might be higher than that

because it can be seen as a desire to boot out the colonialists forever, reestablish their own borders, and generally run their own lives the way they've been taught in the mosques. Don't disparage anticolonialism, it's a very strong motivator in the region.

I just doubt any of them want ISIL to run things once the fight is over.

[JI7]

7. so how about Haiti and vietnam

[Warpy]

8. So how about them?

Two red herrings for the price of one!

[JI7]

12. that this has something to do with being anti colonialism

[Truprogressive85]

9. Smh

5-20 % out of billion plus

Screw Her

[philosslayer]

10. With all due respect, she's deranged.

The numbers are 1-2%, and even that is a stretch. I'm just surprised a Democratic Representative from California would so easily besmirch Islam.

[JI7]

11. look at what she said or rather did concerning native americans

13. I knew it was gonna be a DINO

but I didn't think it was gonna be one of our resident DINOs.

[Sgent]

15. Probably a similar percentage of Jews

literally believe that Israel will be restored, a red heifer will be sacrificed and a third temple rededicated.

They have no intention of bulldozing the Al-Aqsa Mosque to make it happen.

Its a dream for the future. Its gods business to figure out how to do it while bringing worldwide peace.

16. Sounds like FloridaMan©... oh, wait...
