We do know, however, there is a segment of radical muslims that are a problem in many countries. Their culture is driven by their clerics and very dangerous to children and other living things
True enough.....a segment. There's also a segment amongst white western cultures that are equally dangerous. Long before Moslems set off bombs on London buses, a far right group 'recruited' a young British man who was 'trained by them' to build nail bombs and then launched a vicious series of attacks on gay pubs in London.

There are dangerous, subversive and damaging elements in all societies. When the 'London Nail-Bomber' as he became known was caught, we didn't hear politicians telling us to root out the extremists.

I think it would be foolish to deny that there are some dangerous fringes amongst Moslem communities. It is equaly foolish to characterise all Moslems as dangerous. I know plenty of moslems who consider themselves as British as I am. They practically queued up in London to condemn the actions of the bombers. Note: there were moslems killed in the London attacks and the New York attacks. This is about a particular group of terrorists who are moslem, it's not about all moslems.
