I have never been to London. There may be a difference between American moderates and UK moderates. I don't know. What scares me though, is no matter how nice and civil they are...they still believe the same things as the extremists.
I think you're right. They'll silently tolerate you in their presence to appear "moderate" and then they'll slate you in their own minds. I have a Muslim associate and I remember him telling me how "wrong" it was to drink alcohol. I'm not telling him I'm gay, I know to my face he'll be ok but I don't want to know what he's thinking.
Side-note; I'm a bit drunk, so you're getting unadulterated Nuke right now haha

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
