I'll believe there are moderate Muslims when I see a majority Muslim country that allows its people freedom, basic human rights, and free expression of ideas.
I'm sorry I must be more than a little thick this morning. But this sentence really doesn't make any sense to me.

The only "moderate" Muslims are those in the minority.
My point(and my only point) is that there are Muslims out there that support the radical islamists and their war on the west. That they're a minority I'll grant you, they may even be a tiny minority. But they are there and should get our support.
This war that has been forced on us is being fought on many fronts, B-52 strikes and Army Rangers are just one way of fighting this. The likes of Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani are attacking it(radical islam) on another front, and the threat to Kabbani and those who agree with him is just as real if not more so as it is to us.
Remember the old saying, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

What I am saying is that Muslims only "behave" like the rest of the civilized world when they are living in countries in which they are in the minority, and thus, don't run things. In all countries which are run by Muslims, you find a lack of rights, freedoms,and prosperity that is appalling. If we were to wake up tomorrow to find Muslims running things in the US, our constitution, rights, and freedoms would be right out the door. A moderate Muslim is one who's biding his time until he is powerful enough to force his way on you.
