"There may be moderate Muslims,..."
"Not Maybe >> ARE. And LOTS of Them. And that's the point. Case closed."
I agree...the Muslims I've run accross are not like the zealots who bastardize Islam to further their own aims. Yeah, perhaps Islam does need to be modernized and the "Kill All Infidels" rhetoric removed from the official texts, but I cannot believe that a majority of the many millions of folks who pray to Allah agree with the need to exterminate all non-Muslims.

But be forewarned: yer gonna be busy, for a long, long, long time!
