I hope you understood the rethorical sense of my questions. Up till now, I have yet to engage a real Mullah or Imam, but I will continue to ask such questions, until I find one who has the courage to engage openly.

In a way, the lack of responses from any so called moderate muslim, proves the point. There aren't any. I simply do no longer believe that they all are just afraid.

Since the imaginary moderate Muslim is not even willing to debate respectfully in an anonymous forum, I fear, that there is no hope for any form of reform or even enlightenment. No room for compromise. I agree with Pipes that the solution to Islamism must come from within, as we can not force a Billion people to adapt. Since that seems however to be implausible, no evidence for any debate within the Islamic community visible, I too foresee a war of cultures in the future with Iran as it's catalyst.
