What is wrong with US Muslims wanting universal health care

While I find most of your conclusions about the Bagby survey on Muslim attitudes in the Detroit area interesting and quite plausible, I fail to see how you are able to conclude that the fact that almost 90% of that community is in favour of universal health care is in any way an indication of a lack of moderation. I live in Canada which is usually considered a moderate country where, apart from the medical profession and insurance co. stock holders, about 98% of the population feels exactly the same way.
