The Huffington Post's Sebastian Howard points out that Beck used the same 10 percent figure in his 2003 book, "The Real America." In it, Beck wrote that while "ninety percent of Islam is peaceful," "ten percent of the faith is composed of extreme radicals who have taken Islam through a time tunnel and twisted it into something ugly and barbaric." "Ten percent of Islam want to see us dead," he wrote.
Beck is saying 90% of Islam is peaceful and the other 10% have twisted the religion into something pretty shitty. If we look at the middle east, their treatment of women, children, diseased and disfigured... along with the tribal and secular warfare instigated by their religion, and the rogue groups that operate all over the world to fight their holy wars... then yea, he might be on to something. His 10% number is probably inflated, but his point is still there and shouldn't be overlooked because of a number he may, or may not, have made up.
