I had noticed that. I'll note for our foreign friends that California is a
pretty big place, even in mountain scale. ;-)

Yeah, but I don't remember seeing a minaret. Maybe I just never went where
they're common.

Not at all. See Prop 8.
It should be trivial to set up a phone poll to ask these questions. You
might get false negatives, but I don't imagine you'll get a false positive.

Sure, and I see a whole bunch of pictures of people holding up signs, and I
see riots and people burning down buildings, and etc.
I don't know what percentage of muslims would do that given the opportunity.
I don't think you do either. That's why I said the assumption that it's a
minority is a bad assumption, as would be the assumption that it's a majority.
I thought the idea that there would actually be enough votes to modify the
CA constitution to treat gays as sub-human would never have passed either.
