Islamic fundamentalism is widely spread | WZB: "Religious fundamentalism is not a marginal phenomenon in Western Europe. This conclusion is drawn in a study published by Ruud Koopmans from the WZB Berlin Social Science Center. The author analyzed data from a representative survey among immigrants and natives in six European countries. Two thirds of the Muslims interviewed say that religious rules are more important to them than the laws of the country in which they live. Three quarters of the respondents hold the opinion that there is only one legitimate interpretation of the Koran."

About 13% of christians say that religious rules are more important to them than the laws of the country in which they live. Also 16% of christians have the opinion that there is only one legitimate interpretation of the bible
OMG, what if the amish, mormons, mennonites, jehova's witness or seven days adventists knew any of this, all hell will come down.
To go short: christian fundamentalism is less widespread then muslim fundamentalism in europe, but in intensity perhaps greater. Then why else are we dropping bombs on jihadists without the religious fanatic christian majority of consent to back it up in our democracy's?
This also means that muslim fundamentalism is the democratic majority in a muslim state and the religious consent in islam, if that state wants to held elections. So how can this muslim democratic majority and thus democracy be a threat to islam or the islam state when it has the road to victory in peace.
At best 'we the west' are violating the democratic rights of the muslims in our democracy's (read:
mediacracy) or whats left of it.
