2. Depends how you define "Muslims".

If you define it as being someone who share's Chaudhry's views, and dismiss all the others as being heretics - as I suspect he may well do - then he'd be right, but by that standard there would be far fewer muslims than there actually are.

Worldwide, I suspect the number of muslims who'd agree with him would be uncomfortably high, but fall well short of a majority.

Here in the UK, it will be a tiny minority.
