I'm waiting for your answer to my question, not laughter, not more cheering for your cheer squad, answer the question in a way that satisfies everyone, and you can honestly believe.

Oh ho, "answer the question in a way that satisfies everyone", are we growing philosophical? Don't make me laugh. Try writing one sensible post yourself before starting to make insane demands of others.
I have spoken just of the situation in Amsterdam, since YOU brought up the murder that took place here. The majority of Muslims here are not radical. Maybe they will be if they run into people like you often enough, which is one of my biggest fears.
Your close-minded pigeonholing-brain must have pegged me with the terrorist-loving Muslimhuggers already. For what it's worth I consider fundamentalist Islam a very scary and worrying thing, and am concerned and frightened about the number of integrated, liberal Muslims who have started to lean to the radical side. I'm just as concerned about the racist morons who push them in that direction with their intolerance, their hate-breeding, their selective and misguided interpretation of Quran verses and their ignorance.
I worry about radical Islam, but I don't consider sweeping insults and bigorty very fruitful tools to prevent more Muslims from going radical.
