* Wikipedia says 28%. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shafi%27i
OK I will agree that it is Shafi'i but it gives you a good base for 1/3 +/- of the nut jobs. There are so many sects it is hard to get one Good Ref that covers all.

We here on this board do not use Wikipedia as a ref. Please refrain from doing so as anyone can change the data and they have a lot of erroneous info on it.
