Are there moderate muslims? The answer, fortunately, seems to be "yes." However, there may be difficulty determining who the true moderates are.

"’" is obviously the humble apostrophe.

They are the ones who -- knowingly or not (doesn't matter) -- fund the jihad.

Another way of looking at it, they're the ones with the remote-control bombs.

A moderate muslim only watches and sends money, but is not violent?

Yes, they are the ones that shoot you BEFORE they hack off your head.

Well of course there are (Regardless of what the "Nuke Mecca" types say).

Otherwise, the world wide population of blood thirsty muslim animals certainly are the most undermotivated blood thirsty muslim animals I've ever heard of.

That being said...

I would like to see these moderate muslims stand-up and lead more often. LOUDLY!!

Dr. Pipes is sadly mistaken. Nice wishful thinking though but misleading and false. There is no such thing as a "moderate muslim".

There are however good muslims and bad muslims in the same way that there are good christians and bad christians. Religion is kinda funny like that. You either go to heaven or hell, there is no middle ground.

Would we call a Christian who believes in having homosexual priests and pastors a "moderate christian"? Perhaps a Christian who believes that abortion is woman's right to choose? "moderate"?

I work with a few Muslims that were forced to leave Iraq when he purged Shiites in the 1970's. They are about as pro-US and pro-Bush as anyone else that I know of.

Yes, there are moderate Moslems - I know several. The problem is that Moslems are required to donate to the mosque (charity is one of the Five Pillars of Islam) and those charities are so ridden with corruption that it is difficult to know when the money winds up purchasing explosives for some kiddy in Palestine. What is wrong with contemporary Islam is systemic in nature, and the nicest and most well-meaning of them can still be exploited by the rest.

Islamists note the urge to find moderate Muslims and are learning how to fake moderation.

In the South of Thailand, many Muslims talk the talk of moderation. However, the motorcycle mounted murders are never caught as they blend back into the general population. The "moderates" usually talk about the killing of Muslim protesters by the police and military, never mentioning the killing of 550 Buddhists and government supporters.

Yesterday, four pro-government individuals were killed, including two teachers, but the "moderates talked about economic inequality and how the Buddhist businessmen discriminated against Muslims.

Do these 'moderate' muslims believe all the leftist nonsense of 'moderate' pols in this country? Are they essentially unbelievers? More to the point, have they ever published their . . moderate . . Koran, for everyone else to read? Cause the one that we all get to see seems to recommend an awful lot of violence against the infidel, those who won't forcibly convert to Islam. Just how the thing reads. What are THEY readin?

They are the ones who have run out of ammo.
