No they're not. Extremist Islam doesn't fit in the narrow confines of a one-dimensional classification from politics.

Never. Nobody gets arrested for spreading extremist propaganda and there's no reason to. I get tons of extremist propaganda in the mail every election and it ain't from muslims.

Don't you realize yourself how silly this line of questioning is ? 'Berlin leveled'
Imams preaching the sharia -if that's what you mean- have nothing to do with alleged bombings anywhere. If they were connected to the bombings (say : sheltering the culprits, financing the thing,...) they will be arrested for complicity in terrorism, but still not for spreading extremist propaganda. If people were arrested for spreading that, every member of the political parties Falke27 mentioned would be in jail.

Well we have some politcal correctness in america, which i find annoying but its ok, cause even if I may intend to say logical criticism of islam, some do in fact have a hatred of it.. so i guess its ok to promote some kind of tolerance, but tolerance without criticism is stupid in my oppinion.

Muslims that commit crimes are not protected, vigorously or not. The muslim community as a whole is protected from the generalizations of the kind you're making here by all reasonable people, that is true. There are about 1.5 million muslims in Britain. A handful have engaged in terrorism, and maybe one in a thousand is extremist. The other 1,498,500 should not suffer from the actions of the former 1,500. They are protected from stigmatization and so it should be.
BTW, I'm no Brit.
