Are muslims more prone to being radicalized, than followers of other religions?

I've googled, but only find one-sided sources, either for or against Islam.

And this video, which shows an Islamic sholar conducting a survey among his listeners:

At 3:47 - https://youtu.be/bV710c1dgpU?t=228

quote:

"How many of you believe that the punishments described in the Quran and the Sunaa, whether it is death or it is stoning for adultery, whatever it is, if it is from Allah and his messenger, that is the best punishment ever possible for human kind, and that is what we should apply in the world? Who agrees with that?"

Speaking of, I was told recently that Jerusalem was the 4th holiest site in Islam, so if Mecca and Medina are 1st and 2nd, what does that make the 3rd?
