Being “moderate” Muslims is technically sinful backsliding that lasts only until a fundamentalist (fascist) minister arrives to set you straight—you see, reason is stalked by the mortal sin of dissenting from even the most ridiculous and anachronistic babblings of the prophet.
When the most evil among you is given the most power by the faith you all share—the impossibility of reform keeps everyone of you in a bubble of suspicion by the civilized world.
But only if you actually agree with those who are radicalizing Islam. These are not my words, just read dr Jasser. I believe he understands the average Muslim’s way of thinking. They have to guess why, for instance, nothing like the PayPal protocol was created by Arabic industry. They have to understand that their civilization somehow stopped around Middle Ages. Don’t you think?
