I don't believe that . . . when one averages things out across all the Muslim immigration into the West . . . that the assertion that "it's a small minority" is quite accurate. I suspect the percentages would be sizeable.
An interesting empirical issue. If you find the stats, please let me know.

For awhile is seemed that we could all live in peace, but right now, it is going the other way.
"If a new party was set up that wants to defend the English, create an English parliament, control immigration, challenge Islamic extremism, restrict the building of Mosques and make all public buildings fly the George Cross or the Union Jack."

You need to separate the Muslims, from the Islamic Extremists and the Sharia Law bunch. Muslims are not the problem......
but I agree fully the small percentage who are a problem are likely the ones causing the issues.

Hmmmm...
Why nobody ever complained about the Muslims before 1989?
I remember that, when there was the "Red threat" of Soviet Union to worry about, nobody ever complained about Islam and the Muslims.
After the "Red threat" of the Soviet Union was gone, all of a sudden a "new threat" appears: the "Islamic threat".
How convenient for those who need an "enemy", a "external threat" to advance their agendas...

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
Oh my. Another "all the muslims are evil thread"As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
No. All Muslims are not evil but the ones who are are very dangerous.

But still, lets cherry pick a clip and run with it. Makes for good drama eh and helps to feed the obsession?
When it comes to Islamic extremism, there is no need to cherry pick.
While I admire your liberalism, you should research what you defend.

You do realize how inflammatory you and others in this discussion are being, don't you?
You're describing all those who oppose your view as "apologists"

I'm still torn as to how to slice and apportion responsibilities, inclinations, convictions, beliefs etc.
Contrary to so much apologist stuff hereon,
1. My own Muslim friends
2. My own observations
3. My own reading of current and former Muslims
gives me MORE THAN SUFFICIENT pause and concern.
And, those sources in MY EXPERIENCE far outweigh the apologists on ATS.
I applaud the Muslims who turn their backs on such shrillness and brutality.
What I'm not so sure of is . . . given the choice between a fully Muslim society and legal system in the USA . . . would they fight against it or for it . . . and if other more violence prone muslims gained 51% influence in a given city or state--would the calmer Muslims move away or support more emphatic SHARIAH implementation in those areas?
I've heard relentlessly that even the calmer Muslims do not REALLY consider themselves to be TRUE Muslims--on average--because they are not fully Shariah compliant and fully supportive of Muslim conquest.
So, what would it take for other more intense Muslims to shame the calmer ones into compliance?
