14. Definately not typical
sadly though too common these days. Oppressed people, or people who think they are oppressed, tend to flock to extremists. THey also get the most press. You don't hear about the tens of thousands of progressive and moderate muslims for the 500 or so extremists that attend his Mosque.

Extremist religion, of any stripe, is dangerous to our planet, but it's important not to equate one lunatic's words with an entire body of people.
