Maybe people to accustomed to look at the Moon have problem looking for
things near their feet. And it is easier to not see if these people (and
others) are encouraged to segregate themselves.

This is an article from 2010; just last year.

"Moderate" is a tricky concept.
What is the definition of "moderate".
Was Swedish people "moderate" when they forceful sterilized "unfit"
people (often for silly reasons) until the 1970s? And I remember they
started to do so before the Nazi Germans.

Also, "most" is a tricky concept.
Is most what? 90%? 80%? 50%+1? or what?

Very moderate indeed.

More young Muslims back sharia, says poll
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2007/jan/29/thinktanks.religion

In the survey of 1,003 Muslims, ..., nearly 60% said they would prefer
to live under British law, while 37% of 16 to 24-year-olds said they
would prefer sharia law, against 17% of those over 55. Eighty-six per
cent said their religion was the most important thing in their lives.

*Muslim and Western publics continue to see relations between them as

*few say Muslims are tolerant or respectful of women. Meanwhile,

I feel there is a bit of a contradiction from the first to the second
link. The first "Muslims worry more about economy than religion - like
westerns" is contradicted by the second "However, the latest Pew Global
Attitudes survey finds somewhat of a thaw in the U.S. and Europe
compared with five years ago."

"Social Objectives" like being re-elected even if the natives stop
voting for them?

They imported their own voters.
Like they did in Holland (until, very recently, the imported voters
started to challenge their masters and tried to elect their
representatives and not some socialist kuffar).

Ander, how is going the Arab Spring?
Do you think the Moderate Muslim Brotherhood will respect the Universal
Human Rights charter that not a single Muslim Nation have signed,
preferring the Universal Islamic Human Right charter (aka Shaaria rule
supreme).
