Moderate Muslims

Moderate Muslims do not get high marks in Islamic History from Middle Eastern universities. Muslim scholars don't get doctorates from exposing the nonsense of Islam. Scholars of Islam cannot be Muslim. A parrot is not a scholar even if it recites Shakespeare.

Mohamed said to lie to the infidel. Actually, the admonition to lie comes from the moon god himself. Mohamed said war against the infidels until they all submit or are all killed. Please scholars of Islam, tell me where I have misunderstood the Koran.

Muslims must do good works to get to heaven. Killing Jews and Christians is the only sure way to know if you've been a good little Muslim and deserve to go to heaven. So moderate, non-hating Muslims go straight to Hell. Even the pre-logical Muslim mind can figure this choice out, right? A moderate Muslim should become a Christian. No need to hate Jews and you can shuck the head gear and clown pants!

Moderate Muslim. Moderate Nazi. Moderate mass murderer. All make the same kind of sense, that is, none at all!
