Well it stands to reason those that do feel that way, would also think that anyone supporting Israel is problematic.
I've heard some interesting interviews involving "moderate" Muslims. When the questions become more pointed, they reveal some problematic mindsets.
Medvid was interviewing a guy he touted as being moderate last week, and by the end of the interview he had to state several times that he didn't realize the guy's stances were what they were on several points. Those points were moderately damning to his overall outlook.
I try to be even-handed on this, but from what I've seen, there are some serious problems present even with moderates. If push came to shove, I have to wonder what their reactions would be.

Al Rantel of KABC in Los Angeles is a master at that.
I suspect I heard at least five or six "moderate" Muslim spokes-persons
on his show in the year or two after 9-11.
Rantel would let 'em steam along comfortably with 2-3 minutes of
softball questions.
As soon as a couple of clear, direct questions about Israel, Jews
or the US military were politely asked...Rantel would have a raging,
rabid screamer "moderate" Muslim just about to meltdown.
Those interviews should have been videotaped and played on primetime TV.
It would have been as informative as "The Path To 9-11".
