It isn't a matter of interpretation. The "moderates" outright ignore major sections of the Koran. Again, so (on such naive appraisal) do MOST Jews and MOST Christians wrt their religious writings. Yet we don't pretend that ultra-orthodox Jews and primitivist, fundamentalist Christians are the only "real" Jews and "real" Christians, and that the majorities who "ignore" (or, for the less naive, differently interpret) "major sections" (e.g. 99% of the Mosaic Law) of their religious texts are phony moderates, inconsequential and don't legitimately represent their religion.

Yes. However, when WE do begin following them, we aren't a threat to national security. That's the difference. A pretty major one, by the way.
