Indeed there are moderate muslims but it depends on your definition of “muslim”. Let’s say there are “ethnic muslims” or people who belongs to traditionally muslim societies but who aren’t into religious bullcrap. They are seculars but not necessarily atheists. Say Kemalist turks, Baathist Iraqis or pro-Russian Syrians, Egyptian military.
They would describe their religious affiliation as muslim if you ask them, but they still see islamism as their primary enemy.

Go back and read the poll results of ‘affiliated’ Muslims and you will see what disgusting parts of the Muslim doctrine they subscribe to. They may not yet have the conviction to act on those beliefs, but they are well over half way there. I call them ticking time bombs. These are the Muslims who will become hard nosed Sharia proponents as soon as Muslims obtain critical mass in a society. Why do these ‘unaffiliated’ Muslims not speak out against the atrocities? Because they believe in Sharia's punishment if they do so. In my book that makes them submissive to Allah and believers that are dangerous and damaging to a society that is threatened by Islam.

My experience is that almost all are moderates. But I only have experience with Muslims in America. Many of them left the Muslim world for a very good reason.
My daughter did a book report that required her to interview college coeds from Iran. The men did a very good job of protecting the women from the extremists in Iran. The women dressed just like American college girls so they couldn’t be pictured for fear it would get back to Iran.
