Rather than talk about “moderate” Muslims, instead refer to them as “non practicing” Muslims.


I have always believed, after observing and talking to Muslims, that moderation is inversely proportional to the degree the Muslim takes the Koran and its teachings seriously.

The more serious you are in believing the Koran, the less moderate you become and vice versa.

And my point is considering them equal to ours when theirs include acts of babarity is insane.

To us, I have to agree, but to others, maybe not.

Agreed, especially those cultures that happen to have lots of hot women who like America. We should import as much of those cultures as we can. :)
