Well, why is he wrong? I think it's likely true, intuitively, that you'll get more responses from people with strong viewpoints.
That being said, I would suggest that even if the error bars are relatively large - say, as high as ten percent - the most conservative adjusted numbers on those pew polls are still extremely concerning.
So, for example, if only 31% of British Muslims think suicide bombings are sometimes justifiable, or only 35% of Muslims worldwide think there are circumstances where women should be subjected to honour killings, that's still pretty horrific. Whether it's 27% of Muslims who support murdering apostates or 23% or 20%, there's a widespread problem; these can't be considered fringe beliefs.
