You are absolutely correct. There is no such thing as moderate Islam, moderate Muslim, peaceful Islam and peaceful Muslim. All these terms are oxymorons!! They have been coined/invented by Muslims and their apologists. Even our President has been brainwashed into saying these oxymoronoc phrases.

The question of moderate Islam/Muslim should be put the those "religious" leaders in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Iran, etc, who issue fatwas at the drop of a dime on a daily basis. Let's see how they define moderate Islam/Muslim.

Are these (moderates) the people who partially believe in Quran? Answers from those religious leaders will be most illuminating to the western PC crowd and their acolytes.
