The title isn’t ‘moderate muslim’ it’s “moderate islamist”. There is a difference.

Yes there is a difference, like loaded or unloaded, armed or disarmed. A difference in state.

A moderate Islamist?

Oh . . . hmmmm . . .

1. Their beheading sword is dull?
2. They provide a pillow for the head to fall on?

3. They toss a flower on the bleeding stump of a neck?
4. They only spit on the lopped-off head once instead of a dozen times?

5. They only show the video on Al-Jazeera 3 times instead of 300 times?
6. They send the body parts back in 1 or 2 boxes instead of 2 dozen little boxes?

7. They only lash their daughter 2 dozen times—within a hair’s breadth of death—for getting raped; instead of stoning her to death instantly with riotous glee?
8. It takes them 3 cartoonists to get them to foam at the mouth instead of 1?

Right. I figured you had no idea.

A moderate Islamist only worships the religion of Satan less.

INDEED.

Actually strict Sunnis, including, but not limited to Salafists and Wahabbis, consider all the varieties of Shi’ites I pointed to as examples of moderate Muslims to be apostates.

From what some Muslims have told me there is a peaceful Koran and a more violent Koran, they say that is sort of like our Old and New Testament. They have told me that like we follow the New Testament they follow the peaceful Koran (they see the Old Testament as more violent). I upon occasion, as they come up in my life, witness to Muslims the faith of Jesus Christ.

From what I can tell Mohammad wasn't violent until he started to acquire more followers and power over people. From what I can tell he became more and more demon possessed as time went on. He wrote parts of the Koran before which some more peaceful Muslims choose to follow and violent parts later which the violent Muslims follow.

I have witnessed to young Muslims who sincerely go on about how we are to love everyone, and not hate anyone. I told one how Israelite blood has been mixed in with many people of the Mid East because of them being dispersed. I told him that for all he knew he could be part Israeli. Amazingly, he did not have a problem with this idea at all and even seemed to like it and again he said he believed in loving everyone. His reactions and proclamations utterly amazed me for someone professing to be a Muslim. He was from Jordan.

Has anyone else talked/witnessed to Muslims who talk of love and peace?
