"Moderate" Muslims?
Reader comment on item: British Opinion Surveys from an Islamist Hell
in response to reader comment: Is Dr Pipes ready to change his position?
Submitted by Kurian Thomas (United Kingdom), Aug 31, 2013 at 10:31
Moderate Muslims are the invention of the West, in the Middle East of Asia, there is no distinction between radical and moderate Islam. So when you say,
" ...hope that moderate Muslim can then construct a positive and benign version of their faith." It's going to the realm of wishful thinking.
Sorry to say this but the moderate Muslims are not moderate when it comes to Islam.
