I think we should encourage moderation among Muslims at every chance we get. Even if they plan on taking over the world slower than the radicals, it has been proven that it's harder to "keep em down on the farm, after they've seen Pari" so to speak. When people experience some freedom they want more of it. So Muslims who practice a more moderate religion will likely draw more Muslims over to their way of thinking. So I say we do whatever we can to support the moderates.

"So I say we do whatever we can to support the moderates."

I see it that way also. Not that I think highly of Islam. I don't. But I have complained for years about the lack of response coming from within the Muslim community towards terror. Now these "moderates" are responding, at least it would certainly appear so.

So....if some moderate Muslims finally do the right thing, they speak out, condemning the use of terror and the terrorists (descriptive words even the MSM won't use) shouldn't we affirm them?
What's that say about us if we refuse?

Islamists note the urge to find moderate Muslims and are learning how to fake moderation. Over time, their camouflage will undoubtedly further improve.

Desperate search for moderate Muslims goes all around the world. It is especially urgent in Europe whose face is being irreversibly altered by mass immigration from Islamic countries. Recently, the British government appealed to the growing British Muslim community to isolate extremists in their midst. It's not hard to predict the response. Actually, there will be no response, because everyone in any Muslim community is an extremist. Such is the nature of Islam, and the only thing that I find hard to comprehend is the self-imposed blindness of the British government. Apparently, such is the price of liberalism and political correctness. Bye-bye, Europe. We are next.
