What numbers are we talking about here? It seems that an extremely tiny percentage are radicalized, and they don't seem to come from a specific social class. In other words, is it not a gathering of nutjobs?

Read the article, up to 25% of the youth in these areas show some form of support for ISIS.
Showing "Some support" is very very very far from being part of such an extreme organization. Or else we would all be dead .
But that's the problem: yes there are a few really crazy ones that are ready to kill, but there are a lot of kids that are fascinated by the killers, that say they understand them, that won't do a minute of silence for the Charlie Hébdo victims, because "they were looking for it".
Imagine if 25% of American kids said they could relate to the Sandy Hook shooter, wouldn't that be worrying? Regardless of whether they'd be out to kill as well.
