Oh, and one important point

In Response To: Interesting article by a female Danish/Pakistani (Linda Tx)

She said that that these fundamentalist Islami's are not representing the majority of Muslims, but are far more vocal and yell louder than the majority and that there needs to be louder voices coming from the level-headed Islami's.

Does anyone know if this is happening? Are there any louder level heads out there?
