>"Why aren't the moderate muslims demanding the Koran by re-written to exclude the passages about the Jews."<

Because there is no moderate Muslim. That is why we don't hear anything from them!!

>"Are your moderate muslims changing the religion so that non-muslims are not lower class any more? Are they doing away with sharia law? Are they changing the Koran so that a man may not beat his wife, or have four wives? "<

No moderate Muslim here, move along!! No change in Quran needed - it's Mo/allah speaking directly to himself!!!

>"Moderate islam is only a faith for its followers that are not active as yet in following the true teachings of mohamed, who hated the Jews and killed all of them at Kyber."<

Yeah the "moderate" Muslims don't care about genocide of 800 jews at banu Qurayza and other places in Arabia!!! May be because moderate Muslims and Islam don't exist!!! Worldwide Muslims have killed more than 300 million non-Muslims since seventh century.

Seriously, it is obvious that there is no "moderate" Islam or any "moderate" Muslim. Those who claim to be moderate can and do become regular radical Muslim following the teachings of Mo/allah. The Westerners keep on wishing that moderate Muslims will show up to change their religion, its only a wishful thinking and not gonna happen ever. If you only know the real Islam, you will come to the same conclusion!!
