I won't even pretend that I read this.

Instead, I'll use it as a venue to offer my current opinion: "Moderate Muslim" is a ruse. Certainly lots of people who call themselves muslim are moderate enough; but that may have more to do with their priorities than than with the dogmas of thier religion.

I think terrorism is the logical consequence of Islam.

Actually, WAR and conquest are the STATED goals of Islam. It's what the "religion" is based on.

Terrorism is a way of conducting war when your technology isn't up to waging an open war of conquest. Back when they most advance war weapon was a horse/camel and a sword or lance, the Muslims conducted open war. Now that technology has advanced, and they have not (see below), they must resort to "asymetric" warfare, ie, terrorism. Islam, despite the PC myths, has provided NO scientific advancement, EVER. Any "advancement" was by their non-muslim dhimmis that lived as virtual slaves. The main reason that Islam cannot achieve any science is in their view of creation and the creator. The Judaeo-Christian God is GOOD, and consistent, and reliable. Therefore, the rules of nature are consistent and discoverable. The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is ALWAYS going to be the same. To "impose" the above "chains" on "Allah" will get your head removed. As an aside, those who dismiss the idea of a Creator risk falling into the same non-advancement trap. If everything is random and an accident, then there is no reason to go searching for the rules that the Creator established, now, is there?
