I agree with you, clearly those Officials in the UK haven't been paying attention, they must have missed the riots in France over the cartoon depiction of Muhammad, further I'd like them to define what they believe to be a "moderate" Muslim. I think very few true moderates will be lost due to the Gaza conflict, it's not like this conflict is new, and any so called "moderate" who is "lost" isn't really a moderate if they aren't equally as appalled by the 600+ missile attacks on the civilians in Israel over the past couple of years.
What they should be concerned about and they did mention is the recruiting of youth to the extremist movement, however this new campaign into Gaza will be used as a new talking point, if the Israelis weren't there the recruiters would just use our quote on quote occupation of Muslim lands or any other one of their gripes to recruit Muslim youth to the "cause".
