in response to reader comment: The crux of the matter!

Submitted by jennifer solis (United States), Dec 12, 2008 at 15:32

Hello Mr. Blyth, Sr.,

Much as you comment on Dr. Pipes' "calling a spade, a spade", I believe you as well have done just that.

While perhaps there is argument for the existance of moderate Muslims, much, much more difficult is the argument for the existance of moderate Islam.

Such a thing has yet to occur.
