Is it still possible to believe in a moderate Islam? I think not. If there was such a people they are extinct. now. Those who may have been "Moderates" were too frightened to stand up for their beliefs. Amongst Jews the fight between the Ultra Left right across the spectrum to the ultra Rightists exists. It's not peaceful, it's not nice, it's not a happy face - but it exists. In Islam the fight is for the leadership where the most coprrupt can steal from or milk the gullible "bleeding hearts". Sorry Daniel but it's too late to look for moderate Islamists to control the radicals. They're running scared of their radicals who have learned how to hide behind their Prophet in order to frighten the world.
