This is a good example of exactly why these so-called moderates are in fact full of BS. They act as if so-called radical Islam is new. They act as if they are hearing Muslims say radical things for the first time in their lives. I am more convienced than ever that there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim.
Show me a moderate Muslim and I'll show you someone who no longer believes Mohammed is a prophet of God.
I am afraid you are right
A sincerely moderate Muslim is simply someone who is moderately Muslim -- someone who ignores, or is ignorant of, much of the Koran and Hadiths. He might say, for example, that the more bloodthirsty parts of the Koran and Hadiths refer to Mohammed's situation in a particular time and place, not as a model for perpetuity. The problem is, how many Muslims agree with him?
