Moderate Muslim here

Hello John,

You are asking where are all the moderate Muslims and why don't you hear from them. I grew up in the US so I am an American moderate Muslim leading a normal life as a physician doing normal things like working, exercising, watching movies, taking trips, fine dining, etc. Is these anything about me that would make headlines in the paper or on TV....NO! Now you see why you don't hear of me or others because we are living NORMAL LIVES. Many Muslims I know live normal lives. There are plenty of moderate muslims probably where you live and you didn't even know they are muslim because they don't dress or act any different than you. If you do some research you will find others.
