The following are what I gather the discrepancies between Muslims extremists and us, being moderate Muslims:
a) We believe Allah is the Most Merciful and that is why we fully support Allah wants all non-Muslims to repent that is why we use our good conducts to change the mind of non-Muslims to become Muslims. Some of us even approach non-Muslims to share the good news to non-Muslims about Allah and warns them about the destruction of the unbelievers so that they would repent.
Muslim extremists fight simply the Holy Quran mentions the word, fight, and do not find out why Allah mentions it. Muslim extremists fight and they do not share the good news to non-Muslims for their repentance and hope that all of them go to hell.
b0 Moderate Muslims only fight when non-Muslims fight against them in accordance to what we, moderate Muslims, that gather the information from the Holy Quran.
Muslim extremists fight regardless any situation just because the word, fight, appear in the Quran.
c) Moderate Muslims respect Allah and we don't use Allah's name for fun.
Muslim extremists abuse the word, Allah. Plato uses the word, Allah, in the Holy Quran to replace his name.
d) Moderate Muslims wish all non-Muslims to repent.
Muslim extremists want all non-Muslims to die and do not want them to repent.
