I find it interesting that the term 'evil' being applied to Muslims. If you do that then apart from ourselves apply it to every follower of every religion. If you walk the streets of England it is not muslims that are falling down drunk, wearing micro skirts, flirting at work, getting divorced, watching inappropriate TV and films, falling into bed with everyone, having teenage pregnancies, catching sexual diseases. More than likely they are doing what we don't do. Sitting down to meals at the same time as a family. Praying 5 times a day and behaving appropriately in and out of the home.

Whilst I fully believe that the Koran is a rather primitive re-working of the Bible and that theologically at odds with my beliefs and that of the Church this Islamaphobia serves no one. The very reason that Islam is in the ascendant in the west is because, like the Orthodox, it's insistence on moral values and a firm believe system attracts western converts because of the mess that contemporary Christianity is in.
