I can't believe there are so many FReepers who haven't figured this out yet. UAE is a moderate Muslim nation. We need to encourage moderate Muslim nations and execute the WOT on those that are engaged in terror and proliferation of WMD. Divide and conquer! We can't fight 1.2 billion Muslims at one time.
Since nations contain a complex mix of folks and are hard to finitely characterize - it may be easier to ask one to define the difference between a Moderate and Extremist Muslim...
Where may one go, to get a definition of "Moderate Muslim"? .
Has Islam, as defined in the Koran, been subdivided or reformed to create "Old Testament Muslims" and "New Testament Muslims"??
So far, the only distinction between Moderate and Extremist Muslim I've heard -- is the Moderate Muslim has not yet had the provocation, courage or opportunity to pull the pin on their grenade and toss it into a Jewish or Christian school or place of worship.
