David L,

Most moderate Muslims are anti-Cordoba and anti-sharia.

It is unfortunate that they lack the gonads to give up on the ideology of hatred but they were probably indoctrinated at a very young age with the peaceful and religious, "Mecca" side of Islam.

The later Qur'an, the one dictated in "Medina", gives us a very different and contradictory view of Mohammad. The Messenger explained this away as "When we cancel a Verse or throw it into oblivion, We replace it with a better one." [Or:] "Whatever Revelation We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, We substitute something better." Qur'an 2:106

... the abrogations exist all throughout the Qur'an, Hadiths and Sira. This increases the dualistic nature of moderate and radical Muslims that we see today. It is like having multiple personalities. ...
