Agree moderate Muslims do exist, but the core of this study is to quantify just how many fundy Muslims there are: around 50% of those surveyed, a rather large chunk of the survey group.
The point is Muslim fundamentalism isn't "rare", it is close to the norm. Another disturbing finding from the study was how many young Muslim people held fundamentalist beliefs. The number was quite high (don't have it open any more).
