I usually see religion as a tool/ideology that can be good or bad depending on the individual - This isn't political correctness, it's reality since there are religious people will all kinds of diverse ideas.
I think the numbers of moderate Muslims are largely lowered to appease liberal-capitalists but I also believe the majority of them are not fundies. There's beliefs in every religion to fit your worldview - Want to be a gay queer Muslim? I'm sure there's a group for that. Want to behead the infidels and beat women? There's a group for that. Want to promote secularism and Islam together? There's probably a group for that.
As for the ideology being dangerous - Here's the thing, there is no ideology that can't or hasn't (hardly) been spread by force, it's just the natural state humans live in. The fact political ideologies sometimes don't have books saying "kill people to promote the idea" hasn't stopped individuals from rebelling against the establishment and forcing new ideologies - In fact, that's how liberalism came into practise after the French Revolution.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
