Christian fundamentalists make up about 20-25% of Americans.

One in four or five Americans are Christian fundamentalists?

I tried to find some info to support this but couldn't.

Based on the definition of "fundamentalist", I would be surprised if it was over 3%-5%.

So then I was wrong, there are probably more (not the same amount)of Muslims that feel more hatred towards American and Christianity .

PLENTY of non-fundamentalists or Christians feel the same way about Muslims. Um, Jews? Hello? And how about all the less religious Americans. The plain old nuke 'em types. There are a fair number of them too. And let's not forget all the racists. I think you're underestimating how many Americans think of Muslims this way. I do not underestimate how many Muslims feel hateful towards Americans either (also remember that the US is not the centre of the universe though - the middle east is very, very aware of Europe as well). But so what? I don't see why the attitude of some Muslims towards Americans should affect how Americans view them in terms of reality vs media hype. All that means is that we're ALL victims of the media and frustration about the entire situation.

It would depend on you definition of fundamentalist. My general definition is that it's someone who interprets the bible literally, and then incorporates beliefs that match that literal interpretation. Many of them are harmless, but annoyingly passive aggressive. But many are also harmful.

3 in 10 Americans take the Bible literally:

Yeah, there are a lot of fundamentalists. I think you're thinking about extremists maybe, Jason?
