So you admit your experience in the "NY/NJ" area, now USA overall, even West overall, is NOT representative. Yet now, and definitely aware you are Misleading, ask the strawman 'how many' in the America/West' anyway.
Again, How many Muslims of the 1.5 Billion live in the US/EU?
1%-2% Restricted by our laws.
Ooops.
And again, Sharia, is just another example of Islam's general intolerance. Islam is not just about Women, Not just about Sharia.
What IS happening (in further demo of the "nihilistic death cult" beyond killing apostates, adulterers, gays, etc), Is the Persecution, Cleansing, and Killing of Non-Muslims and Muslims of other sects WORLDWIDE.
Not just by 'terror' groups, but my Mainstream Muslims and their Governments from Mauritania to Mindinao.
Many people are persecuted, cleansed, or die Every day in the Name of Islam.
BTW, Singapore is Not a Muslim country.
But - and thx for mentioning it - it's former leader, Lee Kuan Yew, had plenty to say on Muslim Intolerance and lack of willingness to integrate there.

Bush was an apologist for Islam, as are many in government necessarily.
They can't tell the truth, that these 'Extremist' muslims are in fact not perverting the religion at all.
ie, for many years, bin Laden was the most popular man in the Muslim world.
Unlike in Christianity or Judaism, Literalism is Mainstream in Islam.
Practising Muslim reformer Irshad Manji:
".....The trouble with Islam today is that Literalism is Mainstream.
Even Moderate Muslims take the Koran as the final word of God: unfiltered, unchanged and Unchangeable.
This Supremacy complex inhibits us from asking hard questions about what happens when faith becomes dogma.
Such a path can lead only to a dead end of more Violence...."

And like Hirsi Ali, Manji lives behind bullet-proof glass... even in Canada.
