its that silent majority coupled with the vocal minority that has allowed radical islam to take over large parts of the middle east and Asia. pretending one doesn't compliment the other is a little silly.
at the end of the day, its about who is being heard. just as the basic principle of "Freedom of press" in the US is to ensure (although not perfectly) that both sides of an issue are heard... not having that other equally loud voice of opposition is the same as no opinion/opposition at all since the loudest and most heard viewpoint always has an advantage.

http://forum.mpacuk.org/showthread.p...ighlight=luton a discussion on the protesting by muslims. They believe it was an illegal war, which it was. But they mostly understand this protesting was in bad taste, some of them even think the protesters should have been beaten up. They are not plotting which bus to blow up and discussing the best techniques of turning a turban into a bomb.
