Also, trying to add something to the great opening exposition entered by Daniel_, which seems all but impossible to do now, but there is something already entirely false in the title of the doctor's researchings (which as it seems to be, is not actually his take from it, but something that the OP himself added, well, I don't know why..). I would give the advice that you allow the title of the entire thread to be "Among Criminal Muslims"... otherwise you might just get a number of other members coming into a discussion thinking this was the entire premise to your article / argument.
It pre-supposes a number of things, the most broad of which being that Western culture and Muslim culture can so easily be divvied up into two neat portions of world understanding. Despite such nations as Australia and Japan being viewed globally as markedly 'Western' in categories such as technology, government infrastructure, GDP per capita, and cultural adoptions, there are a number of other countries in Southeast Asia, Africa and Europe where Muslims make up a good, if not a majority of the population.
It's also weird to notice that throughout the interview with the author, Sennels, he makes broad claims and assumptions to this 'Western World' of his, as though it is only made of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
