So is it significantly less than 1% or significantly more than 1%??

Are there nations where there's lots of Muslims that there's been no significant terrorist attacks? Let's see here: Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Solakia, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, Denmark, Croatia, Ukraine...the list goes on.
Actually, there was a major hit in Spain and a number of failed ones in Germany.
Muslim terrorists have staged major terrorist attacks in the following first-world nations: America, England, France, Russia, a couple small ones in Australia, and now Belgium. They're striking EVERYwhere, huh?
But wait. Are there nations where there's lots of Muslims that there's been no significant terrorist attacks? Let's see here: Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Solakia, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, Denmark, Croatia, Ukraine...the list goes on.
So one must ask why it is that so many of these nations which DO have significant Muslim populations aren't having any significant terrorist attacks? Yes, there was some egregious crap going on in Germany during the New Year, but it wasn't a terrorist attack. Why haven't there been attacks in Italy and Spain, even though they've got significant Muslim populations?
What's the common denominator?
Belgium, we've since found, has a largely dysfunctional governmental system that makes it easy for bad people to fly under the radar. All the rest have been very active in military actions in the Middle East...whereas almost none of the rest have been militarily active to any significant extent in the Middle East. In other words, it would seem that terrorists who happen to follow Islam aren't at war with the West or with "Christianity"...but with those nations who have conducted the most military strikes in the Middle East.
One more thing - Fox News just reported that ISIS sent 400 fighters to Europe to make terrorist strikes. Generally speaking, it takes about 10 people in a military chain of logistics to keep one man on the fighting front. It's probably significantly less when it comes to terrorists, but let's stick with the 10-1 ratio. That means that there may be as many as 4000 trained ISIS fighters and their supporters in Europe. Sounds like a LOT, doesn't it? But are they really representative of Muslims? Even as early as 2010, there were about 13 million Muslims in the EU...there's certainly many more now. That means that AT MOST one out of every 325 Muslims either is or supports ISIS.
One out of every 325. That means the other 324 do NOT support terrorism, and that it is flatly wrong to blame Muslims or Islam itself for terrorism.
Many on the Right wonder why it is that Muslims haven't condemned the Brussels attack en masse...and here's the answer that one Muslim gave:
Because we’re driving the taxis that have been taking the population home for free since yesterday …
Because we’re caring for the wounded in hospitals …
Because we’re driving the ambulances that are racing through the streets like shooting stars to try to save what life remains in us …
Because we’re at the reception desks of the hotels that have been welcoming onlookers for free since yesterday …
Because we’re driving the buses, the trams, and the subway cars so that life can continue, though wounded …
Because we’re still looking for criminals in our police, investigator, and magistrate outfits …
Because we’re crying for our dead, too …
Because we are no more spared than anyone else …
Because we are doubly, triply bruised …
Because the same faith produced the executioner and the victim …
Because we’re groggy, lost, and we’re trying to understand …
Because we spent the night on our doorstep waiting for a person who won’t come back again …
Because we’re counting our dead …
Because we’re in mourning …
The rest is only silence …

Not a single one of, or all together are good arguments not to condemn these suicide bombings!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are a terrorist sympathizer and apologist.
This Glen guy is really ignorant about Islam. Now he knows.
And of course, there's a separate problem: your slander does not seek any nuance in whether we're talking about a rural semi-dark-age village in deep Afghanistan (or similar country) and resident of developed country. If you want to compare violence between religions, you need to look at Christian countries/etc, in their Dark Age capacity, and compare them to said rural semi-dark-age village in deep Afghanistan (or similar country).
Check your math, Dude. 1 out of 325 equals about 2,000,000 supporters of terrorism
We have over 308,000,000 citizens in America.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Census
About 70% are Christian
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_religious_demographics_of_the_United_States
While plenty of Christians and religious/non-religious citizens and figureheads condemn all the terrorist attacks carried out in the US by Christians (ie, Dylan Roof, etc.), the number is nowhere near 215,600,000.
There are 1,500,000,000-2,000,000,000 muslims worldwide. Precisely what percentage do you expect to condemn terrorism?
Most importantly: what happens if "the media" - particularly that segment of the media interested in condemning muslims - tends not to report on it?
Go digging on the internet. Tons of muslims/muslim leaders condemn fundamentalist terrorism. It is reported on, but not at the same rate as Christian US Politician does talking about the Nth school shooting.
And of course, there's a separate problem: your slander does not seek any nuance in whether we're talking about a rural semi-dark-age village in deep Afghanistan (or similar country) and resident of developed country. If you want to compare violence between religions, you need to look at Christian countries/etc, in their Dark Age capacity, and compare them to said rural semi-dark-age village in deep Afghanistan (or similar country).
The driving force is a combination of (1) fundamentalism in religion, (2) poverty, (3) isolation from the modern world, and (4) stability of country.
If you compare Christian acts of evil to Muslim acts of evil taking these factors into account, you'll find that far more blood was historically spent by Christians when in comparable states of civilization.
There is of course also the element of tribalism. It is inherent for an individual to demand more from another group than from one's own. It is inherent for an individual to apply nuance to one's own group, but overgeneralize about another group.
All that said, ISIS must be exterminated.

In this context let me call this research by PEW to mind:

No, again you are in error.
Note read up on rules regarding insults- flaming and baiting.
Wrong- I provided good advice. Personal attacks are frowned upon.I know you are guys going to try to ban me at any chance you get because you disagree with what I say..
Wrong- I provided good advice. Personal attacks are frowned upon.
I would rather have you out in the open where i can take your views apart
That is as much of a personal attack as someone calling me racist or an ignorant low information Trump supporter..
