"The Myth of the Tiny Radical Muslim Minority", a 6 minute video. It will force you to think the definition of 'radical'. He makes a pretty damn convincing case. Among the minority of Muslims worldwide that are not radical are perhaps the Turkish Cypriots (note: the old batch, not the brand new fake additions). The reason is simple: they were Christian before they converted, or they adopted the ways of the majority as a means of survival during their short presence (we trace our non-stop culture since before the Trojan War therefore allow us the privilege to call 400 years a short period) on this sacred island.

Turkey's Kurds & Cyprus' tCypriots
As either unitary state or federation solutions are discussed as replacements to Cyprus' 1960 and Turkey's 1923 unworkable constitutions, should we abide by "if a right is a right too many for Turkey's Kurdish community (circa 23% of population) then that right is a right too many for Cyprus' tCypriot community too (circa 15%), and vice versa." Is the adoption of this fair logic the catalyst to securing just solutions for both UN countries.
