Well the point of it was to dispell the myth that there's only a few thousand islamic terrorists. Out of a religion of 1.2 billion, there's likely millions of extremists within the religion around the world. I'm not saying the whole religion is like that but a good portion of it is.
I can understand why muslims try to hide or convince others that is not true. No group likes to admit that they have more than few bad apples in them but the left for some reason is trying to obscure the whole truth about Islam. I also don't understand why they're against vetting them much more than we do now. Here's some data on this that is also just as disturbing.
 
The most interesting parts of these are the "favorable" and "don't know" percentages.

Supporters of Hamas and Hezbollah don't necessarily condone their every action, policy or idea, similar to how the citizens of the United States don't necessarily justify every atrocity their government, who represent them, commits. It's more of a support for a principle. Like millions of naive American citizens think 'merica's all bout bringing love and freedom to the developing world, they too want to believe that Hamas is a symbol of the dignity and independence of Palestinians. How is it surprising, much less "disturbing", that large percentages of Muslims support Hamas or Hezbollah when prominent Atheist Jew professors like Noam Chomsky (considered one of the greatest minds alive) and Norman Finkelstein, among dozens others, actively support them as well?
Hell according to your own poll, the percentage of Lebanese Christian supporters of Hamas is almost 2 thirds that of Sunni's.. which isn't a few no matter how you slice it and clearly shows that it isn't religion based..
In the case of Hezbollah, which is pretty similar to Hamas in more than one way, the Christian support in the middle east, particularly Lebanon and Syria, is possibly MUCH higher than the Sunni support... "OMG CHRISTIANS ARE FUCKING HORRIBLE! HOW DARE THEY SUPPORT SUICIDE BOMBERS!!"
You wanna know what I find more disturbing? ... this:

Hezoballah are a militia, they do not use suicide bombers. They are incomparable to hammas, it isn't even close.
And yes the Lebanese christians who supports Hammas are ignornat fools, but you don't see christains all over the world agreeing with them.
