#1 Seven thousand that are known or admitted to, anyway. Prob'ly lots more that that are counted as civilian tourists, or were carried away and only counted by the bad guyz' friends. Or that gave up and wandered quietly home. Or that were in associated groups, but not official Al Qaeda members. Or that were killed by other members of the Coalition, as this report only refers to US and Iraqi forces. But at least we have a minimum number, and it isn't a bad one.

#6 And 10%-15% of about a billion total Muslims are extremists so 7,000 is just a drop in the bucket.
