OBL and Robertson I think represent subsets of their respective religions. How big and powerful those subsets are is a subject for debate.
Regardless, 9/11 showed that on the OBL side, it doesn't take many followers to have a profound impact on the history of the world. On the Robertson side, the U.S. is the richest and most powerful country in the world. It doesn't take many followers in leadership positions in the U.S. to have a major influence on the world stage.
