What, and who, is a moderate Muslim?
Islamic values are codified in the Koran. The idea that some Muslims might interpret those values in a moderate way is like saying there’s such a thing as jihad lite. There’s no getting around the fact that a central tenet of the Koran is mass murder – whether through the directive to kill infidels (non-believers), apostates (those who leave Islam), or hypocrites (Muslims who don’t practice their religion appropriately). In other words, most of civilization is fair game for slaughter. What, pray tell, would be a moderate version of that?
And if people try to suggest there are many peaceful verses in the Koran, they are either uninformed or practicing taqiyya, because older, more peaceful teachings are abrogated by more recent violent teachings, as written in Sura 2, Verse 106. Jihad Watch reports:

It’s an uninformed, uneducated, idiotic opinion piece.
In contrast, anyone paying attention to the Lebanese moderates rising up and throwing out Hezbollah’s rule of Beirut (the Cedar Revolution) and then watching Egypt’s 80+ million moderates throw out the radical Muslim Brotherhood would realize an entirely more worldly and realistic view.
Are you robo-posting?
Strawman
As long as the killing remains in its tenants, it’s not a religion - period.
And until Americans deny it 1st Amendment protections, there will be no peace and it will only grow worse and worse.
Because that’s what it is DESIGNED to do.
Tenet, not tenant.
Frickin’ autocorrect.
The Moderate Moosies are the ones who always have a protest parade after the Radicals kill infidels senselessly.
Pray America wakes
If Islam were peaceful why the need for ‘’moderation’’? Wouldn’t that make the argument Islam isn’t peaceful?
So, why is Hezbollah still firmly ensconced in Lebanon and putting Lebanese in danger by attacking Israel?
Muslims support extremism, hence their silence.
They only time they speak up is when Isreal or the US confronts the extremists.
Islam is not a religion it’s a political party.
Nonsense - it is based on the educated study of the actual teachings of Islam the the Koran. You merely reference the difference between various factional Islamic political strategies, especially over the use of taqqiya. But they all have the same ultimate goal, and none of them eliminate the atrocities of religious murder, genital mutilation, slavery or jihad in fundamental intent.
“There’s no getting around the fact that a central tenet of the Koran is mass murder....”
.
Teach it in K-1 to 12, in college and in Congress and, most of all, to the MSM.
Only after that is done, can a sensible discussion of Islam be undertaken.
The guys Barry wants to arm.
Who is the “god” of islam? It craves violence, lust, greed and totalitarian power. It reserves a special hatred for women, especially the young and pure. It rejects the Eternal Word. It rejects the Ten Commandments and even common sense, fairness, and respect for the fundamental rights of others.
A search worthy of Diogenes ...
There is a race between a Moderate Muslim, a Militant Muslim, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, which one wins?
The Militant Muslim, because the other three don’t exist.
Since there is but one God of Creation, one God of Israel, Isaac and Jacob, one God of our fathers, one God of the Holy Trinity, it follows that what Muslims worship is not a god at all, if you get my drift.
Secular (i.e., apostate) Muslims in Egypt throwing out the Muslim Brotherhood (while bringing in Al-Sisi, a confirmed Caliphate supporter) are certainly welcome, but they only prove once again that the only good Muslim is a nondevout bad Muslim.
The less of a Muslim one is, the better a human being one is.
