That's close, but not perfectly on-center. "Moderate" Muslims know that the fanatics would be perfectly willing to kill them for any "disloyalty" to Islam.

One of the most telling criticisms of Islam is that it holds that the Qur'an is the literal word of God, dictated by Allah to Mohammed. Therefore it cannot be wrong, and must be interpreted literally. What does it say?

• Kill the infidel
• Enslave his women and children
• Make his women into involuntary concubines
• Death in Allah's service earns you a ticket to a horny adolescent's idea of Heaven.

It does not say these things once, but many times.

If you're a liberalized Muslim, with a live-and-let-live attitude toward those of other faiths, you have to keep it to yourself -- because to let on is Istihkfaf, or heresy, and is punishable by death. Those who would carry out the sentence believe that it is God's will, and that they'll be guaranteed places in Paradise for seeing to it.

Try Robert Spencer's book Islam Unveiled. It's a stunner.

Agreed. As i've said, the moderates and Secular muslim liberals like Tashbih Sayyed will only flourish after the jihadis and their supporters like the Pakis and the Saudis have been eliminated.

Daniel Pipes the so-called "Middle East and Muslim expert" would disagree with you.

The price of "moderate Islam" joining the Western world is civil war. The "Moderates" must be willing to eliminate the fanatics. Absent such willingness, the moderates will be treated as co-conspirators when it gets to be time to exterminate the Islamic fanatics
