Educated, moderate Muslims are THE great untapped resource in the GWoT, but we just lump them in with the Islamo-fascists and wonder why they feel alienated?

Exactly. Unfortunately, too many people around here spout off crap like "the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim," and "Everything I need to know about Islam I learned on 9/11." Refusal to even recognize that there is such a thing as "moderate Muslims" is one of the worst mistakes conservatives can make, and it's happening all over the place.

Agreed. That kind of simplistic thinking is going to get good people killed. If it hasn't already.

Rubbish. Islam is not a moderate religion, it is an extreme cult. The only real 'moderate' muslim is a muslim who does not practice islam. In other words, those who practice islam cannot possibly coexist with peaceful people, because their's is a religion of perpetual discontent, extreme prejudice, intellectual retardation and physical violence, which their 1,400 year history so clearly reveals .

"Educated, moderate Muslims are THE great untapped resource ..."
Will all educated, moderate, rational and peace loving Muslims please stand up and identify yourselves? Will you loudly, clearly and without qualification denounce terrorism in all its forms anywhere in the world?
I'm waiting ... the sound of silence is deafening.
