this article is a... both claims and arguments. Claiming of 2% etc is coming with a conviction as if the poll was conducted by this person, who probably does not know what lies in a city distant by 10 miles from his home. His claim that islam is different in india is like telling people who dont know "u know there is a joker in Mars". Again at the cost of being repetitive I am saying there is no moderation/radicalism ,there is only wrong or right.

Radical isalm is so justified because it draws itself from the roots:Mo and Koran. Islam can never be outrightly criticized by any peace minded muslim as he knows his arguments can always be fractured based on the roots.and anything that is not above suspicion can not hold sway for long. And such is so called moderate isalm. I will go to say that moderate isalm is just a PR campaign so that people can talk, at least which in itself is good, but it only goes so far. Islam and peace are oxymorons.You cant talk peace and Islam at same time because if you do then it means you condoned ...Mo but you are against some other crimes entrusted to his name by followers of current time. No, sorry this cant happen.

Also, the point this author is making is that west should keep doing goodies to keep the muslim bully happy and content and if they fail, the actions of the bully will be their own doing. Get up boss If i dont slap you does not mean I did a favor to you. It's called bullying.
remember :Any reform in islam has to touch Mo and Koran and that has to be kept in mind always.
