How I wish they were cherrypicking. That insanity is a lot more prevalent here than you think.
haha. There probably is a good number, if they were all rounded up together, but still a minority. Just a vocal one. It's that old saying "empty vessels make the most noise". They're obviously great for the media to use. Reminds me of when British press go to specific housing estates to guarantee clips of teenagers acting up: shouting; swearing; pulling faces at the camera; sticking the Vs up, and generally acting like dicks, to validate their articles on the declining state of the country through unruly youngsters.
I think you've got by far enough sensible people to keep the country relatively sane.
The thing is, it's not just what's in the media, it's what I come in contact with every day. The people I work with, the people I went to school with, even some of my relatives. Just yesterday I got this email forward from a person I would otherwise respect:

USPS New 44-Cent Stamp Celebrates a Muslim holiday.
If there is only ONE thing you forward today... let it be this!President Obama has directed the United States Postal Service to REMEMBER and HONOR the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a new commemorative 44-Cent First Class Holiday Postage Stamp.
REMEMBER to adamantly & vocally BOYCOTT this stamp, when you are purchasing your stamps at the post office.
All you have to say is "No thank you, I do not want that Muslim Stamp on my letters!"
To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those
AMERICANS who died at the hands of those whom this stamp honors.
REMEMBER the
MUSLIM bombing of Pan Am Flight 103!
REMEMBER the
MUSLIM bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993!
REMEMBER the
MUSLIM bombing of the Marine Barracks in Lebanon !
REMEMBER the
MUSLIM bombing of the Military Barracks in Saudi Arabia !
REMEMBER the
MUSLIM bombing of the American Embassies in Africa !
REMEMBER the
MUSLIM bombing of the USS COLE!
REMEMBER the
MUSLIM attack on 9/11/2001 !
REMEMBER all the
AMERICAN lives that were lost in those vicious
MUSLIM attacks!
Pass this along to every Patriotic American that you know and get the word out! Honor the United States of America!
