contradiction in this article?

Daniel Pipes:

At the end of your article you say more than half of British Muslims want Islamic law, but your article's numbers don't seem to say that. They say 40% want Islamic law in predominantly Muslim areas, and 61% want shariah to settle civil cases between Muslims. 32% want to end the West by non-violent means, and 7% by violent means. So I don't quite get how you got to the "over half" assessment.

The figures you report are sufficient, in my book, to justify stoppage of Muslim immigration to the West.
