Anyway, the intention of my comment was - that the infographic doesn't really communicate the "not all muslims are terrorists" thing (partly because that's quite obvious), but what it communicates to me is that Isis are 2x bigger than the Taliban and 10x bigger than Al Quaeda, and that's disturbing to me. (And it can be read as a sort of counter message to the overall intention of the infographic - shit aren't they getting big fast, we need to kill kill kill etc)

That's an interesting point! I wouldn't have thought of that. Not a response I have seen so far though. Mostly, I think the image will be shared between well meaning people who agree with each other to strengthen their own views- it is at worst useless / harmless.
The paris attacks have caused a worrying and measurable shift in public opinion towards refugees and, in particular, those of Muslim faith. I think it's a useful and clear image in that context. Glad to hear your acquaintances are all well-informed and tolerant.
