181 - good post. good, and correct points about fundamentalists of most all religions.

"We can only hope there are 'moderate' Muslims and should be equally concerned about fundamentalist Christians here in the USA."

However, this can't be among 'good' muslims.

It can be among 'bad' muslims, who are good people.

Interesting notion: 'good' Muslims can't be moderate! Our hopes for democracy depend on 'bad Muslims who are good people'.
This recalls a contemporary debate here in the US that has some arguing 'good' Christan's must hold certain social and political viewpoints. It is a road to ruin to too closely tie religion and politics and enforce orthodoxy in both.
