The Hidden Message?

If I read this interview right, the only time Islamists show any moderation, it's when they Are being untruthful and hiding their real views. likewise, Mr Terzi is unambiguous that both Erdogan And the Gulen group believe in the necessity of implementing Sharia law. Therefore, by definition, they are not "moderates".

So, are we left with the definition that the only way to be a "moderate" is by being a Bad Muslim - which means someone with whom the West may be able to deal with in good faith?
