There may be moderate muslims, but there is no moderate islam.

The good doctor is a Trojan horse in our midst.

At face-value, this seems like a well-written article from a so-called “moderate” Muslim. My suspicions are this: why the Hell did it take so long for him to voice his views and what are the motives for the “Middle Eastern Quarterly” to publish it? Something’s not right...

I really hate that I can read an article like this and be suspicious; I don’t want to be, however the events of the past 6 years (and previous, but esepecially since 9/11) and the deafening silence from the whole Muslim world, save this guy, force me to be.

Has been said that a moderate muslem is one that doesn’t prefer to follow the more radical elements of the koran and is therefore not considered to be a “good” moslem.

However, on the other side of that s the “good” moslem who believes the radical and entire counsel of the koran...he is what we would call the radical/violent moslem.

The key seems to be how much of the koran a follower of mohammed (pork be upon him) chooses to believe and practice.

Whatever the case and in light of their definition of a "good" moslem, even the moderate (not “goo”) moslem is only a few verses away from jihad. Even not-good/moderate moslems are suspect, especially in light of the koran's explicit instructions to hide the true nature of their beliefs to deceive the infidel!
