Well, quite a few. Don't forget that the spirit of vengeance for perceived past wrongs (Remember Al Andalus dammit!) is alive and well in the Msulim world. These guys do have quite a few supporters. While Christianity preaches love of one's fellows (a message interpreted and implemented pretty strangely by some "Christians" for sure) Islam largely doesn't even bother with the pretense. And Sufis and others who do preach gentleness are often persecuted.
