Paris attacks: ‘It’s lazy to say France’s terrorist attacks nothing to do with Islam’, says Culture Secretary Sajid Javid
People who claim that the recent spate of terrorist attacks in France have nothing to do with Islam are both “lazy” and “wrong”, the Culture Secretary has said.
Sajid Javid, a Muslim, called on Britain’s Islamic community to contact the police if they suspect someone they know has been radicalised or may be vulnerable to the influence of hate preachers.
“The people carrying out these acts – what we have seen just horrifically this week in Paris, what has happened in London, in Madrid, in Peshawar – these people, they call themselves Muslims,” he told the BBC on Sunday.It sounds to me like this guy is a truly Moderate Muslim.

I don't know Pasto.
From the article:
He added: “It would be wrong, because you can’t get away from the fact that these people are using Islam, they are taking a great religion, a very peaceful religion adhered to by more than a billion people around the world, and using it as their tool to carry out their horrible activities.”
Seems to me that he's one of many out there who refuse to see Islam for what it is or say what Islam really is, whether out of sheer blindness or Taqiyya. I don't know about you but I still wouldn't trust this guy.
My problem with your 3) is that I don't want to always have to watch my back and worry about these people turning into savages at the drop of a hat because they realize that they've been lying to themselves about Islam. It's literally what we live with right now.
