Moderate Islam?
Reader comment on item: [The Search for Moderate Islam:] A Reply to Lawrence Auster
Submitted by Amy Eliezer (United States), Jan 28, 2005 at 12:11
Daniel, I wonder whether you feel traditional (orthodox) Judaism compares to moderate (reform, conservative) Judaism in a similar way to traditional Islam vs. Moderate Islam...?Thank you.
