Yes, there are estimates that the number of Salafi Jihadists (which overlaps with this interpretation) represent "less than 1% of Muslims", which could still be an incredibly large number of people. I don't think there's much precision with those estimates though.
One of the Salafi Jihadists main avenues for recruitment is prisons, and amongst hopeless deadbeats, although environmental factors (ie civil war) can certainly increase that.
I think it's more likely that they are just criminal scumbags, and their disrespect for women might be cultural, but it's unlikely to be a result of religious devotion or teaching.
They are frequently involved with drugs, and that's outright prohibited by all interpretations of Islam.
your posts are very articulate......but your in no position to claim these men arent using islam or racism when choosing their victims.
too claim these drug taking muslims are just run of mill scumbags is nothing short of blatant dishonesty.
