I may have problems with certain Islamist views, but I certainly do not have any problem with moderate or secular Muslims. Heck my all time greatest hero is Ataturk.
I find it annoying that people would posts such 'scientific studies', when in reality Islam and Muslims are not some monolithic entity. These kind of broad statements do no distinguish between Qatub inspired Islamists, and Muslims. Whether they be Sunni, Shia, secular, Sufi, non-practicing, Alawite, nominal, etc, etc. I may be a cantankerous atheist but even I can see the difference.
