I would not say that millions are terrorists... prone towards violent reaction? Yes. Hundreds of thousands as terrorists? Sure
The writer in this article estimates about 1.8 million. I'd say thats as realistic an estimate I've seen.

How Many Muslims Are Terrorists? :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

But when it comes to actual jihadists, to those who have or will commit an act of terrorism in Allah's name, my research suggests that they represent no more than one in one hundred of the 180 million young fundamentalist Muslim men prepared mentally, morally, and spiritually to be terrorists.

That means that there are 1.8 million actual Islamic jihadists on the planet today

But here's the alarming part he writes:

Even if they were to win everything they wanted they'd screw it up in a few years anyway.

Agreed, the Shiites and Sunnis (and whathaveyou) would just start infighting amongst themselves sooner or later.

Unfortunately, it's not possible. This time Western powers have stirred something up that they can't contain.
