From The Australian (hat-tip: Gramfan):
THE West was still underestimating the evil of Islam, an influential Muslim thinker has warned.
On a two-week “under the radar” visit to Australia, Syrian-born Wafa Sultan secretly met both sides of federal politics and Jewish community leaders, warning them that all Muslims needed to be closely monitored in the West.
He insisted that Australia and the US have been duped into believing there is a difference between the religion’s moderate and radical interpretations.

It’s been two and a half years now since I first founded Foehammer’s Anvil where most bloggers begin — at Blogger/Blogspot.com. And it was time for a change. It was time for me to get serious.
Right around Christmas 2006 it hit me — that I couldn’t just keep fooling myself, that my passion for this subject matter was too intense, that I needed to face the facts that I wasn’t ever going to run away from the truth like so many people do, and that I was blessed with the abilities to do something to help. So, I felt the tug of obligation and duty and love of country. And I’ve responded.
There is an idea in the minds of many Westerners that the vast majority of Muslims are moderates and pose no threat. But can we really afford to believe that only a tiny majority of Islam composes this danger?
I heard Col. Oliver North in an interview yesterday on the Sean Hannity radio program come right out and give some estimates:
Active Al Qaeda = 50,000 (not 18,000 like the press wants us to think)
Active Al Qaeda support (Doctors, lawyers, clergy, etc. etc.)
