#1 It has become apparent that while the actual extremist element in Islam is only about 10 % of the whole deal, that a plurality or possibly a majority of the rest are either giving the bad actors aid and comfort or are quietly hopeful that they achieve their goal of taking out the West. Of the remaining 30-40%, most don't give any of this a moment's thought one way or another. Only a small and mostly powerless percentage truly want coexistence.

The lack of loud, pure condemnation from most Muslims and from organizations like CAIR speaks volumes.

Wan criticism of the acts of extremism which turns out to be nothing but a platform upon which a huge "BUT" can be placed (followed by a list of whiny grievances) is neither useful nor sincere nor deserving of trust.

When groups like CAIR make strong unqualified critiques of the acts of murderous terrorists without adding on their own lists of real or imagined grievances for a period of five years or so, I'll start believing in the concept of a large Muslim majority which is moderate and has no designs on destroying the West, and not one moment before. Until then, I'm forced to believe that the number of Muslims who are committed to coexistence and peace is a tiny minority of the entire lot of them.

#2 no mo uro, You state that Only a small and mostly powerless percentage truly want coexistence.

I would say that those people actually want out of Islam and to pursue a normal lifestyle, however, they will be murdered if they leave their beloved Islam, so they keep quiet about it.

#3 Poor fellow realizes that things have gone past the tipping point for trust in this generation. He also, perhaps, may have studied enough of the history of Western civilization to realize what lies beyond the next tipping point, the one where Muslims are perceived as the enemy instead of just an annoyance. Beyond that point lies only a lonely wind blowing over the salted fields of their former homes.

#4 "recently been adopted by Western governments in an effort to stop the stream of Muslims entering America"

There is no effort...I'm told by a highly respectable source that approximately 2000 Somalies enter the USA at Newark International Airport as permanent residents each month and I don't think they are catholics.

#5 Somalies, yet. You would have thought that someone would realize that the white/black thing isn't working very well.
Why do learned men (and women) continue to fool themselves about integration and bigotry ? Worldwide prejudice is winning over tolerance by about 99 to 1. Open your eyes, every day, shia and sunni Arabs kill each other by the dozens.

#7 The Muslims are the Ones Who Failed to Present a Positive Image of Islam

Don't be so hard on 'em - you can put a dress on a pig, but it's still a pig.
