in response to reader comment: "Moderate" Muslims

Yes, moderate muslims do exist, but they are a minority.

After the murders in the London Underground, a survey was made showing that the majority of UK muslims (75%) either directly supported the action or could sympathise with the reasoning behind it. A fifth directly wanted sharia in the UK, not supplementing UK laws, but REPLACING them. A similar survey was made in Berlin, Germany showing exact the same results, and in Denmark we had a similar one with the same results.

The few moderate muslims are facing a huge task disarming the fanatics, and they will not succeed as the critical mass has been passed long ago.
