It is a great mistake for non Muslim countries to permit the immigration of Muslims, whether radical or so-called moderate. People claiming to be moderate Muslims should be denied the right to emigrate to non-Muslim countries and instead be strongly encouraged to remain and modernize their own lands. If they can control the evil ones among them so much the better. If they can't control the evil ones at least we will not import Islam to threaten our children.
The examples of ethnic and religious cleansing that have occurred throughout the Muslim Middle East and the examples of "sudden Jihad syndrome" among Muslims in the West are plentiful warning of what will occur in any country where Islam gains ascendency. In this regard we have much more to rationally fear from the quiet spread of so-called moderate Islam than from the open killer like Osama Bin Laden.
