Where Are Those Moderate Muslims?

Other than HM King Abdullah, I have not heard a peep or squeak from the "moderate Muslims". On the news programs I hear apologists for the Wahabbis and the others but not one apologist for moderation.

Islam should be on the defensive. For heaven's sake, look at all the evil being done in the name of Islam all over the world...

Until these folks demonstrate the willingness to live in peace with the rest of the world, I think we need to keep looking over our shoulders.
