Most muslims are moderate, eh?
Cite your statistical evidence, please, listing all cases of moderate muslims exiling radicals from among their midst, turning in terrorists to the authorities, vocally and insistently and unequivocally condemning islamicism and islamicist terrorism - without padding their declamations with hedges and conditions, etc...
I'll wait.
I won't hold my breath.

Your statement "if most Muslims are moderate, then Islam is moderate" is crap. So long as their holy writ containd hundreds of exhortations to the faithful to actively go out and enslave and kill those who do not believe their creed, the religion which uses that text cannot be considered moderate. Muslims who ignore huge portions of the commandments of their Allah are, by the words of their own writ, condemned as apostates.
To paraphrase your statements: "Just because a moderate person calls himself a Muslim doesn't make it so."
