They’re already in that ‘radical camp’ in spirit, sympathy, tacit support and excuses. There is no aspect of the traditional American foundations of this country that they do not want to change.

There is no such thing as a “moderate” Muslim, just one who doesn’t follow their religion devoutly.. There are no “extremist” muslims, just fundamentalists.

If someone can turn into a suicide bomber due to a cartoon then they weren’t too “moderate” to begin with, were they?

Well, maybe compared to what would be considered a “radical”.

I urge people to read the article, because he agrees with most of FR and urges strength, not appeasement.

Only about 10% of Muslims are moderate.

If a drawing can drive you to homicidal rage, then you are unhinged to begin with.

A Moderate Muslims is one who follows Muhammad and emulates him. That would be ISIS, Al Qeada. Al Nusrha, Taliban, Muslim Brotherhood and a wide arrange of others. Extremeists would be ones who don’t follow Mohammad. Of which they are called Apostates are they are beheaded by the moderates

Moderate Muslims?

You mean the people that are happy that other Muslims are doing the dirty work so they don’t have to get their mall clothes wrinkled?

I’m absolutely tired of hearing the terms ‘moderate muslim’ and ‘moderate rebels’. It’s frigging asinine.
